I logged in to BBO randomly and saw this notice. What is Crazy Week? I’m not sure. It looks like many robot tournaments that normally cost money are free this week. It’s a way to get people to try out robot tournaments who haven’t already tried them out. I believe these are the unpigmented ACBL day longs, meaning they are not the Support Your Club robot tournaments that give you black points.
Indeed, back when I did lots of robot tournaments, there were 3 different types or daily robot tournaments – the Just Declare, MPs and IMPs. For the ACBL Daylong tournaments, I believe they are all 12 boards, Best Hand, Advanced Robot, and Human Declare. There might not be a Just Declare that gives ACBL masterpoints, so it’s only IMPs or 3 types of MPs.
Edit: It seems there is some fine print. “Offer not available to all players.” So perhaps not everyone is seeing this promotion.
