Classical tournament

Hey guys,

Is there a classical tournament here ? like 30 minutes games with increments or more.

thanks
There are 20+10 arenas, but they are rare, lichess does not run traditional tournaments, but some users run them here.
There is a league called "lichess4545" (45+45, team-based) and another called "lonewolf", both run long classical games.
Sometimes there are also leagues and tournaments run on the forum, some of which may be classical.
There is a classical arena every Friday. The next one starts in a few minutes. Unfortunately this is in the middle of the workday for many Americans. Hopefully Lichess will add at least one more per week at a different time.
Don't forget, you can create your own tournaments. Although I cant seem to find how to extend the time longer than 7|2
Not classical ones, user-created arenas cannot have a base time over 7 minutes or a delay over 2 seconds, so the maximum time control is 7+2, which is barely in the rapid range (6+2 and 7+1 are both in the blitz range).
You can create longer than 7+2 by marking the tournament private, but then a password is needed to join. I suppose you could then share that password publicly.
You could even put it in the name, name it the "pswrd:"abc" Arena" so everyone knows the password is "abc", but why should we have to resort to tricks like that?
I would really like to know the reason for this limitation.
