I need to pay for a tournament. My partner only paid for herself. Will I get a message to pay before game start?
Can we play with people we know instead of robots?
if you want to play with a partner, against other humans, look for tourneys that are listed as “pairs”. individual tourneys are you and a robot partner against other robots, then you compare your results to others doing the same thing. pair tourneys are must like a normal pairs game at your club.
Wonderful news. Starting to really enjoy the process your team has put in place.
Just to clarify, is this tournament in addition to the 3 daily SYC games in which you play with a partner, or is it replacing those games. I hope it’s the former.
Is there a way for players who have never played in a local club to identify a club to be supported?
where is the 5o’clock signing
Have the 10 am, 5 pm, and 7:30 club games with real pairs been eliminated?
Fine work- this pandemic is no doubt causing financial stress on most bridge organizations.
Where are game results?
It was $5 yesterday
Why the increase?
It’s still $5 for the SYC GAMES at the three times a day. These games are not visible until 2 hrs before. See “Highlights” (the second item in the “Messages” column.
I would like to know why the increase. I thought $5 was a little high.
Non riesco a chattare al tavolo non riesco a edere gli angoli sti cosa devo fare ho Ipad ciao grazie
Can’t find any EBU tournament, are there any?
The point awards seem wacky
Is the 10AM game delayed?
Why not make all ACBL games optional SYC, where $1 would go to the clubs. e.g. all 1,25 games would have an option to pay 2.25. I think the clubs would earn more this way. Could keep the 5 dollar 18 board games as well.
GOOD idea.
Sorry to be a bean counter and an MP-calculation novice, but what are A/B/C for these tournaments? Also, I see certain people winning exactly 2.0 MPs in these out of 2.5 MPs max repeatedly, often with less than awesome overall %ages. How can this occur? Are the 18 boards divided into multiple sessions somehow?
How do you get your $$ back if you reg by mistake?
I would like to play in the 7 pm game
What is the time zone for the 10 am 5 pm and 7:30 pm games?
I live in Mountain time
when will the daylong last?

Is it 6 or 5?
Any chance for larger team games like big knockouts or bracketed swiss?
we registered and were told to wait and then we were locked out after we paid! Petfurdo
I played in the support your club tournament yesterday afternoon and did not get my results
Can’t get a game
don’t know how to join – or sign up?
In looking over the hand records and comparing my hands with other tables, I noticed that other tables had a different dealer for the same hand. In other words, the hand I bid had west as the dealer but another table had North as the dealer. This would make a difference in how the hand was bid and what the final result might be.
What if you play at several clubs? Why not allow entering the club name?
I Iog in two hours before my game, my partner accepts invitation, I show convention card. WHY DO I HAVE TO KEEP RUNNING BACK TO COMPUTER every few minutes FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS TO REFRESH??
I have responsibilities in my home away from my computer. That is why I log in early.
How often do you require me to refresh before logging me off? This is the most frustrating part of this whole BBO experience.
after you register 2 hrs ahead, you can sign off. just come back a few minutes before game and sign back in.
