Earning Competitor Achievement

Sort:

I have won 10 medals, which means I have played in at least 10 tournaments. (Total number is closer to 15.) But, the Competitor Achievement does not appear in my list of achievements. Do only certain types of tournaments count? Some forum posts say they have to be daily tournaments, but the description of the Competitor Achievement just says "... joined 10 tournaments!". Live vs. Daily? Arena vs. Swiss? Chess.com vs. Club? Or, is this a bug?

That award is only for Daily tournaments.

Today, I received my Competitor Achievement without entering 10 daily tournaments. Apparently, some tournaments count towards the 10 and others do not. I reviewed all my tournaments. My Contender Achievement was earned on 3/19/2021, the day I entered a live Swiss tournament. My Competitor Achievement was earned when I entered a live Swiss tournament today. Therefore, I included all 3/2 Blitz tournaments of the same type. It looks like out of the 18 live tournaments I entered, 10 were Swiss tournaments. I have entered no daily tournaments. Is it safe to conclude that live Swiss tournaments count and Arenas do not?

I guess it's possible they added Live events to the code now and it may count Swiss events.

In my humble opinion, I think all tournaments should count (Arena, Swiss, Live, Daily, Variants, etc.). A tournament is a tournament. Either that or have separate achievements for different types of tournaments. @Martin_Stahl Thanks for replying and listening.
