deisenbe Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 1. If there's a description of Speedball anywhere on the site, I can't find it. What are the rules? 2. Which events require everyone to be an ACBL member? I am, but my usual partner isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycroft Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 1. 5 minutes/board instead of 7. So 11 minutes per 2-board round, instead of 15. Very aggressively kept to time. If you're slow, you're likely to get adjustments; if you're perenially slow, those adjustments are likely to be in the opponents' favour. 2. Definitely ACBL tournaments. Not sure about the "BBO ACBL club" ("ACBL World"). Defnitely not ACBL Virtual clubs (unless you're a "member" - have played at that club in the 18 months prior to lockdown). Note there are tons of events that aren't ACBL events (many with their own restrictions, of course), and there's the casual server or team games that have no restrictions at all.

barmar Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 The games that require you to be an ACBL member are ACBL Virtual Club games -- you also have to have played at that club in real life in 2019 or 2020. ACBL Speedballs and Individuals don't require you to be an ACBL member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
