where are the rules please.



In this game, accepting a draw at move eight got me zero point. What is the rule please?
"Drawing the game within the first 10 moves will earn neither player any points." just look under an not started tourney
Also, the points you win or lose depends on the difference between your points and your opponent's.
If you have similar points, maybe you will not gain near nothing although the draws were after the 10 moves.
PepeMaster he's talking about tournament score

As previous people have pointed out:
lichess.org/tournament/help
"
Drawing the game within the first 10 moves will earn neither player any points.

Draw streaks: When a player has consecutive draws in an arena, only the first draw will result in a point, or draws lasting more than 30 moves. The draw streak can only be broken by a win, not a loss or a draw.
"
These rules are in place to prevent abuse by early drawing.
Thank you all for telling me about the rule.
I had looked at the FAQ but in the lichess feedback forum and there was nothing on the topic there.
The way to get the answer on my own was :
- Arena tournaments
- FAQ in the arena tournament

Not an obvious path.
Thanks again!
