Lichess team tournament integrity issue

@WildWizard said in #9:

Set the required games limit to 10-20 before the arena, and right before it starts set it to 100

100 Rated games and 1 Month old account should be the minimum for such a tournament. Yes this will exclude a tiny minority of the participants but make a big hurdle for cheaters.

For events that are or become more premium events, like mega team battles, I would also combine minimum account time + number of games, for example, 14 days or 1 month old account + 30, 50, 100 games needed, depending on time control, fewer for rapid, more blitz more still bullet. I would still exempt titled players as they are all verified users.

given Crushers experience this event, congrats on good overall performance, in events where there are sufficiently large volume of players, say 500+ or 1000+, whatever is appropriate, it would be nice if the system could be configured so you never get paired with the same account more than once, even if have to wait little bit longer pairing time once in a while.

The settings have been changed to 20 scored games and one month of account age.
The aim is to make things difficult for cheaters.

Instead of increasing all kinds of limitations with amount of games, account age etc., I believe it would be much better to punish the teams that were not playing fair, like warnings, or not allowing them to continue to play. It just punishes the 99,9% of players who play fair (and limits some % of interested players, who simply cannot participate due to account age). Team leaders are responsible for their teams and don't need to accept anyone new by default.
