It appears that not all two session events award gold points, even though it states on the schedule that they do. Please clarify this, as my partner and I would have played in different events had I know the Golden Pajamas and Golden Hoodies only awarded red points.
It appears that the 750 strata is not eligible for gold points, yet it is in the section clearly marked as "Gold and Red Points". Had my partner and I known this, we would have played in a different section, either playing up, or playing in the 499 section. The Golden Pajamas, and Golden Hoodie tournaments that we played in only award red points, yet were clearly posted in the "gold points" section of the tournament. We feel we were misled and hope that this is more clearly posted for subsequent tournaments. We did enjoy the play very much however, and thank you for the red points 🙂

Each Side Game Series consists of four games played at the same time each day. For example, the Easy Chair Side Game Series takes place every day at 2:15 (eastern time). You must play in at least two games in the same Series to be eligible for Gold Points. So if you play at 10:45 on Thursday and 10:45 on Sunday, you have played in two games in the same Series. In order to earn Gold Points, not only must you play in at least two sessions of the same series, you also must either come in first place overall in your section and direction, OR put together two very good games (generally averaging at least 58%) in order to qualify for the overalls. All other points are red points.
If you do not have a partner, each event has a partnership desk where many players are available to set up partnerships. No more than two hours before the start of the game, click on the event you wish to play in and you'll see the registration window. On the far right of the options along the top, you'll see "Partnership Desk". Click on that and you can either add your name as someone looking for a partner, or click on anyone who is already listed there to invite them to play with you
There are no team games in this online Regional. Yes, there are three two-session Gold Rush Events available to play in on Sunday.
Events will not appear on the pending tournament list until two hours before the start of the game
Registration for all events in the upcoming Regional opens two hours before game time on BBO. You can find your event by clicking on ACBL World from your main menu, then scrolling down to the event you want to play in or using the "search" option in the upper right hand corner of the pending tournaments page. Search for "ACBLTour" to find online Regional events
You may not play with a robot partner in the upcoming Online Regional.

How does a pair actually register and when??
I wish you could schedule a game for us East Coasters in the 7:00-8:00pm range. Starting games at 8:45-9:00 is pretty late
I have a question. In the daily side games prefaced by the instruction,"Play in any two for gold," do the two games have to be played on the same day or not?
Thank you.
The side games are organized in four series. Each series is at a particular time of day, and lasts for four days. If you play in two or more side games in the same series (i.e. at the same start time on different days) then you are eligible for gold points.
is there really a gold rush game on Sunday and not team games??
T=All events are pair games. There are three Gold Rush events on Sunday
