They just keep coming to me, but I thought about this the other night in the Sunday scenario.

On the clipboard, when you click to enter an arena, the CM for the event should be able to add the name of the event to the clipboard.

It would say:

Special Events #1 arena - Battle of Brittain -  short battle
 Or
Special Events #1 arena - Monday Night Madness

Or Special events #1 arena - Battle of Brittain- quad weekend Battle. (Something to suggest it's a longer term scenario)

Ect... yall should get the idea.

Reason is, if a person logs in, they may see that arena populated, but have no idea what it is. And may be afraid to click on it thinking they aren't Invited or not allowed to participate since they didn't know what it was and God forbid it's promoted on the front page....

By naming the arena, new and returning players, may see the special event name randomly logging in one night, see Battle of Brittain - short, or Monday Night Madness, Thursday Night Tanks, and click on it since it gives them idea of what it is.

  In my opinion, and one I had expressed to HT at one time,  I would just simplify everything and just get it on one scrollable tab.

Nuke these:

WW1: WF (It was an interesting tech demo that has served it's purpose.)
Axis vs Allies  (Come on guys.  Lets admit it.  It no longer serves any real purpose, certainly not the one it was created for.)
Steal the Sheep.  This can be run in one of the Special Events arena as a perpetual placeholder event when nothing else needs to run.
Mission tab.  No one has ever gone in there that I have seen and most of those mission are completely broken which if anyone went in there  you would have realized.
All (If you get everything on one tab this is no longer meaningful.)

Move the Special events 1&2 to the front and show the running event name as Slayer suggests.
Move the "Player" tab listing to the front tab and rename it "Player Custom Arenas".

Getting everything on the front tab will streamline and simplify the UI and increase discoverability of what's left. 

If it's not on the front tab, it is invisible to 99.999999865% of players.

I completely agree. The tab thing, I didn't even notice them for the longest time. I see no point at all in that.
