The '''Tournament Arena''' is named in the tour of [[Webkinz]] as the place where a player could challenge friends to a game: after inviting friends to see a room, the tour goes on, "...or challenge them to a game in the Tournament Arena."<ref name="game-5679195be6">The game file <code>Webkinz Site Tour 2008/content/www.webkinz.com/XML/L10N/US_EN/siteTour.xml</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref> That sentence is the only place the files use the name. Nothing preserved shows the Arena itself.<br />
<br />
What is preserved is the two-player side of several [[Arcade]] games. The text of [[Operation Gumball]], [[Wacky Zingoz]], [[Wacky Zingoz Extreme]], [[Webkinz Mini Golf]] and the Cash Cow game kept in the [[Webkinz Mini Arcade]] all carry the same label, "Player vs Player - 2 Player Tournament".<ref name="game-d951eacce6">The game file <code>Operation Gumball/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/ARCADE/GAMES/operationGumball_hack.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><ref name="game-1fbff89f49">The game file <code>www.webkinz.com/SWF/ARCADE/GAMES/wze.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><ref name="game-9c4ef3b03f">The game file <code>Webkinz Mini Golf/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/ARCADE/GAMES/minigolf_hack.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><ref name="game-8188432199">The game file <code>Webkinz Mini Arcade/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/miniarcade/games/cashCow.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref> The files do not say that these matches were played in the Tournament Arena; the word "Tournament" is all that connects them.<br />
<br />
The games' messages show how a match went. Players waited for one another and their profiles were loaded before the start.<ref name="game-d951eacce6" /><ref name="game-d951eacce6" /> In Operation Gumball a match was the best of rounds, two wins taking the game.<ref name="game-fb26cb3460">The game file <code>Operation Gumball/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/ARCADE/GAMES/operationGumballInstructions.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref> In Wacky Zingoz a tie meant another round, a slow player was told "Don't Take Too Long!", and afterwards there were 20 seconds in which to ask for a rematch.<ref name="game-48859962f9">The game file <code>Wacky Zingoz/content/www.webkinz.com/SWF/ARCADE/GAMES/zingoz_hack.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><ref name="game-48859962f9" /> In Mini Golf "the course marshals" penalised slow play.<ref name="game-9c4ef3b03f" /><br />
<br />
The stake was "Prize Money". A player who quit received no [[KinzCash]], and the opponent was told that the other "has quit the game. The game was not completed, but you have been awarded a portion of the Prize Money."<ref name="game-d951eacce6" /> [[WebKinz Pool]], which is stored apart from the Arcade games, has a two-player game with the same messages.<ref name="game-7572a7991c">The game file <code>WebKinz Pool/content/assets.webkinz.com/swf/item/1676/sfunction.swf</code>, as kept in the Flashpoint Archive (Flashpoint Ultimate 14).</ref><br />
