Free ACBL 0-5 Just Declare Daylong tournaments are perfect for novice players who want to practice their game while competing for ACBL masterpoints®. 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!

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

Who can participate?

Participation in this tournament is restricted to ACBL members with fewer than 5 masterpoints, providing a level playing field. Don't forget to register your ACBL number on BBO, and if you're not a member yet click here to join now!

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 if you need to leave the table for a while. 

How do GIB robots bid?

GIBs play a relatively simple 2/1 bidding system. Don’t worry if you are not an experienced 2/1 bidder: a meaning is provided with all bids. If a robot bid is not clear, just click on it to get more info.
