changing ACBL tournament schedule(s)

[roninbc]

Were there not, quite recently, 18-board ACBL Pairs games (a) IMP scoring and/or (b) earlier in the day than EDT prime time?

Seems to me that there were, but the latest version of the ACBL Tournament Schedule is much more sparse in these regards than I recall.

Either that, or I'm just getting too old and my memory's gone. (Sadly, equally probable.)

 

Thanks in advance for any up-to-date information/confirmation/clarification someone can provide.

There were no IMP 18-boards at all this year. We used to have 18 board pair games in both IMPs and MPs many years ago (5 or more), but they were not popular so we stopped them. We re-introduced the 18 board MP ones this year when the much bigger number of players and the new population used to longer club games seemed to need a more varied selection of games.

 

This is the schedule of BBO-managed ACBL games:

In addition to this there are Virtual ACBL games, which are managed by ACBL clubs directly and award black masterpoints. For those, each club sets their own schedule, but as far as I'm aware IMP scoring is unheard of in VACB World.

Thank you for steering me to the correct schedule.
