  1. I finished high in Practice #2, but dont see anywhere who gets the free entry in the main tournament. Please spell out who gets the free entries.

    1. Winners of free entries are the Top 3 players in each day’s results and the Top 5 in the overall results. If someone in the Top 3 has already won, the prize will go to the next ranked player. 🙂

  2. Hi. Same as above. Cannot access the practice sets for the NABC Robot that are supposed to be available today (11/16) and tomorrow. In the description as to how to get to the practice, in ACBL world the first item takes the player to Practice via a click. In my ACBL World, the first item is registration for the tournament and says that I've already registered, which I have. You are probably inundated with this problem. I would appreciate you posting a general message regarding the practice status problem, even if you can't reply to each player individually. I am in the Easter US and my BBO name is brusteph. Thank you for your help.

  3. If NABC Practice Tournament signup (practice for NABC Robot Individual tourney) is accessible via ACBL World, you need to spell out exactly how to locate the sign up. “Find these free practice tournaments in the ACBL World section” is not cutting it.

    1. There's a link you can click to go straight away to the ACBL World section. You'll find the free tournaments there once it's open. The second free practice will be open on November 16 (Day 1) starting at 5AM US Eastern, it will be open until 5AM the next day, so make sure you play the 12 boards on Day 1, to be able to play on Day 2.

  4. I did not register for fall 2024 NABC robot individual (nov. 23-25 $40.00.
    Somehow I’m registered……. Have no idea how.
    Please cancel this !!

    1. Go to the 'help' box beside your log off box. Send e-mail and you should get help quickly. It happened to me a couple of years ago. BBO is excellent for responding and helping in these situations.

    1. NABC Practice tournaments are in the ACBL World section. The first one opened on November 9 at 5am Eastern Time. There are 2 sessions, if you didn't join the first session, you couldn't join the next sessions. 🙂

      Try to join another practice next weekend, on November 16-17. Make sure you join the first session on November 16 starting at 5am Eastern Time.
