Because they are Americans who are ACBL members but who currently live outside the USA. I’m not sure how large that population is but when I play on instant tournaments for ACBL gold or silver points there is definitely some competition but not to the extent that there is a tournament. It also has the advantage of not having to leave your living room!

I was wondering how other ACBL members feel about those of us living outside the US or Canada being allowed to win gold and silver points on BBO.
