Play the ACBL New Year's Countdown Games
Ring in the New Year with Exclusive Holiday ACBL Games on BBO Get ready to enjoy...
This game has been designed for ACBL players, who haven't reached the level of ACBL Life-Master. Lots of you played the pilot version during the New Year's Countdown, so we've created the ACBL Non-Life-Master Robot Daylong as a permanent fixture on the games schedule.
You play with robots using the familiar basic SAYC system, and are be up against players of a similar skill level to you. Everyone has a chance to do well and earn points. Only players who are not Life-Masters yet can play, which creates a fair game for everyone.
The format is 12 boards MP, and you compete for ACBL Masterpoints® and BBO Points. As with all daylongs you have 24 hours (from 5AM to 5AM US Eastern Time) to complete your boards. You can start, pause, resume at any time, without losing your progress.
Click ACBL World > ACBL Non-Life-Master Robot Daylong to play.
I can’t get back to my home page
I am seeking a way to get gold and silver points which I need for my lifemaster certification. Will any of these games offer something other than black/open points?
I'm not going to pay to build up a bunch of worthless black points. ACBL needs to offer red/gold points to make this program worth paying for.
Don't worry! NABC Robot Individual is happening in March, it awards red/gold points + NABC title. 🙂
I logged in to BridgeBase and clicked "ACBL World" as instructed in this article. It appears that
1. The cost is $1.99 per tournament
2. The name of the tournament right now (January 31) is "ACBL Non-Life-Master Robot Daylong: 2024-01-31" so I'm assuming there is a separate tournament every day, presumably 5AM to 5AM US Eastern Time as the article describes. The BridgeBase instructions say "Your partner will be a robot", so you can't play with a live partner.
Hi Paul, you're 100% correct.
Im not able to sign up please help
Hi Shia, what's the issue you're facing? Have you tried going to ACBL World to find the tournament?
I looks like the new non-life master daylong game does not use the "best hand" format used in the other daylong games. Is this correct?
Indeed, it's not a 'best hand' format - it's more like normal bridge. BTW, you can watch this video where Steve plays one of the non-best-hand Daylong Games. You might pick up some useful insights, tips, and tricks!
Do you HAVE to play with a robot or can you play with a live partner?
Hi Martha, it's a robot daylong - so you'll play with 3 robots in a table. 🙂
What color points can you get?
Ditto re price
What is the price?
Same question from me.
Hi, i's 1.99 BB$ 🙂
