ACBL 0-5 Daylong games are perfect for new players with fewer than 5 ACBL points, who want to practice their game while competing for ACBL masterpoints®.

"Just Declare" means there is no bidding. All hands are already bid, which leaves you to concentrate on making your contract.

With up 24 hours to play 12 boards, you can play at your own pace, leave the table, then resume the game later during the day without losing your results. There’s no pressure!

Who can participate?

Participation in this tournament is restricted to ACBL members with fewer than 5 masterpoints, providing a level playing field.

Free entry

ACBL members with fewer than 5 masterpoints play for free!

Is my “partner” nice?

Sure thing! All competitors sit South and play with three robots at the table. Our robots, called GIB, are very polite and patient: they wait for you to think about your play and will hang around, remembering where you left off, if you need to leave the table for a while. 

What is "Just Declare"?

Just Declare is a special game format where you get to practice your declarer ability. You are the declarer for every board, with hands bid by robots. Play your best, as the number of tricks you make will be compared with others who have played the same hand.
