Jessy, you still haven't addressed my concerns. I didn't win any MasterPoints for coming in #2 in a previous real NABC (not practice) tournament. This significantly decreases my desire to put up $40 to play now.
So What ARE the MP rewards for this present REAL (March 8-10) tournament--and does it include daily rewards?
Lyle, if you are referring to the Spring NABC Robot Individual from 2023, here are the results:

You won:
13.50 Masterpoints in Session 1
0.44 Masterpoints in Session 2
1.50 Masterpoints in Session 3
Totalling 15.44 Masterpoints for the entire event, with 14.82 being Red, and 0.62 Gold. These masterpoints have been reported to the ACBL for your ACBL number and should be reflected in your ACBL account.
I would like detailed information on what scores or places earn what rewards. I played in a 2-day NABC individual, coming in second the first day, but only average the second. I received no Master Points. Are there no rewards per sessions?
Hi Lyle,
It looks like you played in the FREE NABC Practice. This event doesn’t award Masterpoints, but finishing in the top 3 each day or top 5 overall earns a free entry (worth 50 BB$) to the real NABC Robot Individual on March 8–10, where you can win red and gold Masterpoints.
Since you finished second, congrats! 🎉 You’ve won a free entry to the main event. Don’t forget to log in and play all 3 days to maximize your chances.

No, I placed second in the first session of the 2-day main tournament that I paid $40 for (about a year ago). I received no MPs. On the recent pratice tournament, the best I did was ninth on February 23, so I wasn't expecting anything.
I am registered for the Spring 2025 NAPC ROBOT individual and I did not register for this. I do not play robot tourneys and I would never pay $40 to play a tournament. The amount was taken from my account. Unfortunately there is no way for me to unregister myself. I trust you will do the honorable thing and unregister me and credit this money into my account. Thank you.

I have been credited with 40 extra dollars..
Seems like an obvious error.
Please clarify and do the needful
Thanks
I did not mean to register today for this event. I was only looking for information and you took my money immediately. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to withdraw/cancel registration. Please advise as I do not play 2/1.
Thank you
Hi Courtney, please contact to support@bridgebase.com if you'd like to cancel the registration 🙂
How much is the early bird discount?
early bird fee is 40 BB$ 🙂
I registered in time for the early bird discount but my entry fee shows as $44, not $40. I'm wondering why. Thanks
Hi, what is your username?
You should be a bit more precise about the start and end times, since Sunday is the day that clocks "spring forward". Thanks.
Hi Stan, the tournament starts at 5 AM New York time, regardless of the time change. Players have 24 hours each day to play, so the one-hour shift won’t really affect anything.
