I could not find the practice session for the NABC Robot tournament listed on Nov. 8th???why??
I registered to play but wish the strat 500 could be raised to 750. Or non life master. Any chance of that? I have 570 pts. It is quite a leap to the next strat. Feel like I don’t have a chance from the start.

Thank you BridgeBase for the number of free games you give to us. The cost of the tournaments keeps me from paying and playing with robots. Maybe you could have more economical (cheaper) robot tournaments so we can support you financially. If you did it without awarding master points, could the cost be significantly lowered?

Are Masterpoints awarded for this free tournament?
Practice tournaments should be free to all ,so we can see if we would like to participate in the main event.

Other than "they are advanced", makes advanced robots better than basic robots?
Advanced robots have more time to make simulations for the most suitable action. They have more "thinking time"

I believe you are a distant cousin to the Ernest & Robert Lander family from the New England area.
We who play for enjoyment don't focus on awards.
