How Are District Scores Calculated?

Players are grouped by ACBL District based on their ACBL number. A district’s score is computed using the top 10 individual scores from players in the district, as well as the average score of all players from the district. This explains why some players will be marked with "Eligible = Yes" on the leaderboard. This means their score was among the best 10 in their District and it contributed to their District score.

Districts with fewer than 10 players will be displayed as "Other Districts".

About the Robots

The robots play SAYC in the 0-750 game, and the usual GIB 2/1 in the Open game. You can find out the meaning of any bid by clicking on that bid as it appears in the bidding diagram. Furthermore,when it is your turn to bid, moving your mouse over the buttons for the various possible bids will cause an explanation of the bid you are considering (as your robot partner will understand it) to be displayed. Reading these explanations carefully before you bid will help you to avoid misunderstandings with your robot partner.

Deal Pools

Not everyone plays the same deals. This is a security measure.

Take on the challenge, enjoy your favorite ACBL Daylong games, and add a little team vibe to your weekend games.
