    Is the $25 fee a typo?? As a first time entrant, it is underhanded to make us think we are getting a deal at $40 . I feel certain that BBO has higher standards and there must be some mistake. Perhaps first time entrants will see a $15 credit adjustment??

    I was charged $50 dollars and it’s my 1st time playing in a Robot gold tournament. Is this correct? Seems high as I thought it was $25. Please confirm this is the correct price

    All the comments are accurate. There does not seem to be a way to get the $25 entry.

      Never mind – when I checked my account I was actually only charged $35.

  15. smoothone0

    I’m also interested in the $25 fee; I haven’t yet registered. Please advise.

  16. StanR

    In the past you always sent emails about the event; this time, nothing. I finally just got an email from ACBL about it, one day too late to register for the early bird discount. So not only did I miss out on all the practice tournaments, I get to pay an extra $10. OK, I paid it, but please don’t feel that you came by it legitimately.

    1. Alexandra

      @StanR we sent emails, did you sign for updates? https://www.bridgebase.com/mp/nabc/nabc_upd.php

  17. Lspovman

    I also paid 40 for tournament. As a first time player I should only
    Pay 25. How to I get a refund. Lspovman

  18. Alexandra

    Hello everyone, there was indeed a display bug, the price displayed was not the right one for the bboers who never participated to an NABC. It is now fixed.

    However, don’t worry. If you registered between yesterday and today, you did pay $25 and not $50.

    You have never played an NABC robot, yet you paid $40 and asked for a refund of the difference? You will be refunded within the next few days.

    And in the meantime, keep practicing before the big day! 🙂 Have fun

      I am playing for the first time and paid $40. Please issue a refund. Thank you. BBO ID is whistwoman

      I would like to cancel my registry as I am unable to play. Please refund my registry fees which were $40.00 I think…I think I received the early registry discount. I have sent a message to BBO support relative to this cancellation as well. Thank you.

    Hello, I am interested in playing in the NABC Robot Individual and it says in the email I received;

    Entry fee is just $25 for first-time participants ($50 if you’ve played in an NABC Robot Individual before)

    yet when I tried to sign up it shows $44. What is the correct rate? I see some people are asking for a refund.

    1. Alexandra

      Hi, $25 discount is only for 1st time players. You already played in March (Spring NABC Robot) so you received a $6 voucher, that’s why you paid $44, this is the correct price 🙂

  22. Gobklyn

    Same here. Paid $40 for by July 6 $10 discount. Now it says $25 is the entry fee. Please refund difference.

    I didn’t join this time. Why ? I have < 500 points and in this category I can't earn gold points. Wonder why. For me it was a deal breaker

  28. StanR

    @Alexandra I did not sign up for updates because I did not know the tournament was coming. I received emails prior to each of at least the last 7 (going back to Spring 2018) of these in time to sign up for the discount and play in the practice sessions, and I did not sign up for “updates” for each tournament. So,, I guess that now you have to know when each tournament is coming in order to sign up to be notified that the tournament is coming?

  29. mweinzimer

    Yes, I also paid $40 and should have paid $25 as I’ve never played in NABC. Hopefully a refund of difference would be nice?

      Hi twobytwocw, you can’t have a refund because you already played in an NABC (2017 summer NABC Robot) and this discount only applied to First players
