I do not have BBO a/c. But I have 7 masterpoints. Can my partner pay my entry fees?
good job
I think so – partner can pay for most events.
When partner invites , they should be able to see if they can pay
Why not have an ACBL swiss game each day as well. Probably about 1.50 BB$ for an entry fee.
While these games offer a very attractive (and cheap) way to play online bridge, clubs who are financially strapped during the shutdown will find these tournaments draining some of their resources.
There is no way our club can charge only $1 a game and remain financially viable as we have lease and other obligations that cannot easily be broken.
Also, the fact that these tournaments occur daily mean that virtually every game we offer is in competition with these $1 games.
I’m not suggesting that BBO stop having these tournaments but consideration should be given to problems that can arise from offering these types of cheap tournaments on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, I do not see any way out of this dilemma other than pleading with our club members to play in our local games as much as possible.
I don’t see these BBO tournament games as being that much of a competitor to ACBL Virtual Club Games or Support Your Club games since the do not offer masterpoints
why no individuals…..
What is the difference between ACBL pts and BBO pts?
do not play money on bbo, it is too easy to cheat
ma a che ora di Roma si gioca?
I have indeed noticed som highly suspect bids, especially from partners who are married and can see each other’s hands!
How many boards in each?
We need more games 0-1000
Good thing!
Delayed broadcasting for kibitzers will be a good option. Presenyly accusations of virwing other hsnds is cropping up when kubitzing is allowe.
hay alguna actualizacion que deba bajarme?
hay alguna actualiozacion nueva ?
dove si trova la spiegazione dei comandi in bbo? grazie
Are these tournaments going to be best hand? I hate that style. Are there any tournaments that are random deal?
Best hand only refers to individual event with robot
So this cannot be best hand
Is there a schedule for ACBL tournaments. Speedballs ?18 board pairs games?
