BlogNomic players take part in occasional boardgame tournaments on BoardGameArena.
On Discord, in the #online-board-games channel, you can react to the message at this link to opt-in to the @bga-ping-group group that will be pinged when new tournaments become are available or are put up for a vote.
Tournaments are generally two-player - we can do 3+ player ones, but should probably be wary about those with a lot of short turns, as they'll take a while spread across timezones.
Invalid games: solved or easily cheatable games like chess, Hardback and Buyword are all currently banned by BGA from being run as tournaments, even privately. Coup is unable to be played turn-based due to the amount of at-any-time challenges (even with just two players, where this wouldn't matter). Note also that games which are still in Beta can't be run as tournaments.
Regular tournaments
For a while we posted this group-curated list to the Discord so that people could emoji-vote on what to play:

If at least four people vote for a particular game, we started a tournament for it.
This system was put on hold in September 2024 when we were struggling to get four votes for anything. We're currently trying a system of people just pitching games to play (maximum one per player per week) and any that get 3+ interested reactions get a tournament.
BlogNomic Random tournaments
Starting in August 2023, BlogNomic is playing a number of tournaments of randomly selected two-player games from the BGA collection.
Ground rules for those tournaments are (and by all means propose amendments on Discord):
- Each tournament is a random game from this list (derived from https://boardgamearena.com/gamelist?specificTag=30), selecting from games that nobody has flagged as being a game they have already played.
- Players can only join a BN Random tournament if they have never played the game before.
- Players unfamiliar with a game are only allowed to read the game's rules: they cannot read up on strategy tips, or play any practice games.
- Tournaments will run in the Swiss format, with three matches.
BN Tourney tournaments
A series of tournaments where players agree to play a series of games chosen by others in the group, without knowing in advance what will be picked.
Quoting Clucky:
- Everyone signs up ahead of time. Might limit it to 8 signups just to keep the numbers working right.
- Randomize the list of 8 players. In order, each one adds a game to the tournament. (If people are concerned with getting stuck playing a game they hate we could do a system that allows vetoes but I don't wanna over complicate things). Game must be playable with 2 people.
- Tournaments are swiss style, 3 games, played over the course of 2 weeks each. (Note that with 8 players swiss, in order to win you have to go 3-0 but you can still lose the first round and finish 2-1)
- After all 8 games have been played, see who has won the most tournaments and most games overall to be the Grand Champion
