barmar Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 The weekly free instant tournament allows you to play as many times as you want, since no points are awarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, placement in the tournament doesn't actually matter?The only thing that we should care about is whether or not we are buying "points" This is a stupid choice Barry...Don't try to justify it.Fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's working exactly as intended and how it has worked for years - it resets once per week and you can play it as many times as you like. It's an extremely useful tool as you can play through the 8 boards at any time during the week and then compare with YouTubers such as Peter Hollands to see how they did on exactly the same hands, unlike daylongs. Why would playing in a free tournament be anything to do with buying points? I assumed nullve was posting this not to report something wrong, but just out of amusement that he managed to play over half the tournament before he realised he was too early and the week hadn't reset yet.

blackshoe Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Hey, if they gave you the same boards to play twice, ask for your money back on the second one. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullve Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 It's working exactly as intended and how it has worked for years - it resets once per week and you can play it as many times as you like. A free weekly Instant Tournament is now available in the Solitaire Bridge area. You can try an 8-board Instant Tourney every week for free, and replay it as many times as you wish.Ok, now I know. (But I will probably never play a Weekly Free Instant Tournament again.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerriman Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 (But I will probably never play a Weekly Free Instant Tournament again.)Any particular reason? You do realise that you're not being compared against other people who are also playing the weekly free / who were able to complete it multiple times - you're being compared against a fixed set of players who played in the original tournament. (Always the same set, which is why you truly can compare your scores against YouTubers). It is IMO the best robot game offered on BBO - much better than daylongs which are all about the luck of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a video where Pete Hollands plays and comments on the same boards. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
