This weekend, June 29-30, ACBL BBOers were invited to play a free 2-day NABC Practice Tournament to get a feeling of what the upcoming ACBL NABC Robot Individual (July 13-15) would be like.
The Practice Tournament closely mimicked the actual NABC event and displayed what we call “mock masterpoints” in the final leaderboard, to show players how much they would have won, had this been the real NABC Robot Individual.
1,472 players of the 2,165 registrants “scratched” at least a fraction of a masterpoint at the end of the tournament. So don’t be intimidated. Even if the “honor roll” features scores like 75+% in reality you just need a decent session, in at least one of the daily sessions, to win some red/gold points.
Summary
- 2,165 ACBL BBOers registered to play.
- ACBL NABC Practice Tournament 1 – Day 1 winner is dcavalier (Drew Cavalier). Day 1 results here.
- ACBL NABC Practice Tournament 1 – Day 2 winner is TDevine (Tom Devine). Day 2 results here.
- And finally, overall winner of the first NABC Practice Tournament is 78jayhawk, with a score of 75.92%. TDevine got second place, with 74.26%, and Upstate won 3rd place, with 72.97%. Overall results here.
Prizes

- TDevine (Practice 1 – Day 2 winner)

Need to register for NABC robot red and gold points thanks
@Maddy please click ACBL World, then click the Summer NABC Robot Individual to register. Registration menu will show up when you click on the tournament.
What was the stratification for this event. I thought C= 0-2000,
but since I was scored as a B with only 1600 points I was confused. Could you clarify?
@jerry Conditions of contest say Unlimited/2000/500
Practice 1 used to be open to all, why did this change?
@anon It was confusing to keep changing the restrictions. This way interested players bump into all possible restrictions while there is still time to fix.
