Tournaments and rating
Free to play. No install, no ads between hands, no betting.
Every finished game on Belote Club goes somewhere. It moves a rating, it lands in your match history, and during a tournament month it moves your standing.
Nothing here involves money. Tournaments are about placement and the leaderboard.
The monthly tournament
A tournament runs each month for the Armenian modes and another for the French ones (Coinche and both Belotes), each with its own table. You join it once, then simply play — results from tournament-enabled rooms count toward your standing during the qualification window.
- One tournament per month, per game family
- Join once; matches during qualification count automatically
- Standings show rank, points and win record, updating as results arrive
- The top places take the playoff spots
- You can leave and rejoin — games played while you are out do not count
The year-end playoff
Crossing the monthly points threshold in a month qualifies you for that year's playoff. Each qualifying month is counted, a bracket is built on the announced date, and qualified players are seeded into it.
Rating
Alongside the tournaments, each of the two groups keeps a global ladder. Ratings start level and move with results, so the ladder reflects the last few months rather than who signed up first.
- Armenian Blot, 2-player Blot and Bac Blot share one rating
- Coinche, Belote and Belote with melds share the other
- Each group has its own monthly tournament, and games in any of its modes count toward it
- The Ranks screen shows your place, the pool size and the players around you
Rating and tournament by mode
| Mode | Players | Deck | Match to | Rating & tournament |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Armenian Blot | 4 | 32 | 101 | Armenian |
| Armenian Blot, 2 players | 2 | 24 | 101 | Armenian |
| Bac Blot | 2 | 32 | 101 | Armenian |
| Coinche | 4 | 32 | 701 | French |
| Belote | 4 | 32 | 501 | French |
| Belote with melds | 4 | 32 | 501 | French |
Every mode feeds one of two ratings and one of two monthly tournaments — Armenian or French — and every game appears in your match history.
History and streaks
- Match history lists finished games with the score and the rating change
- Your profile keeps games played, win rate and your best winning streak
- A week counts as active once you have played on three separate days
- Unfinished games change nothing — a game has to reach its end to count
Common questions
Do I have to pay to enter a tournament?
No. There is no entry fee and no prize pool — no money moves through the product at all. Tournaments exist for placement and the leaderboard.
Why did my game not count toward the tournament?
A result counts when the room is tournament-enabled, you had joined the tournament at the time, and the game was played to its end. Abandoned games do not count.
Are Belote and Bac Blot in the tournament?
Yes. Bac Blot counts toward the Armenian tournament, and Belote and Belote with melds count toward the French one, together with Coinche. Their games also move the rating of their group and show up in your match history.
