NABC Robot Individual

Beat the robots and walk away with an NABC title

Can’t make it to the Memphis NABC? You can join in the fun — and win big — from the comfort of your own home. There’s no need to get out of your PJs when you play in the NABC Robot Individual, a three-day stratified (Unlimited/2000/500) online event hosted by BBO.

NEW: Section awards have just been added. A 50% increase in masterpoints!

Get in shape for FREE and win entries and masterpoints

BBO hosts several practice tournaments before each NABC Robot Individual. Practice tourneys are free and some even award points and prizes!

Face off over the weekend and have more time

Plan your play for a time that works best for you. Unlike previous events, the 2019 NABC Robot Individual will be held over the weekend (Saturday-Monday) making it more convenient than ever. Also, you’ll have up to 18 hours a day to complete the boards — more time to play!

Some interesting results from previous tournaments:

SPRING 2018: The overall winner was a Strat B player with 1300 masterpoints. You don’t have to be a pro!
SUMMER 2018: A Non-Life Master won the second day with 72.60%. He took 24 points home (eight golds!)

Practice Tournaments

All the Spring practice tourneys are over. Subscribe (email or BBO notifications) and we’ll notify you before the Summer practices start!

Can’t wait for the practice tourneys? No problem: BBO offers ACBL Daylong tournaments every day. With only 12 boards, they are a great routine to prepare for the NABC Robot Individual.

Playing with Bots

I really liked this challenge and would play it again, time permitting. Each board is available for replay, and you can compare your actions to the bids and plays of other players, providing a great tool for analysis and improvement.

BBO features GIB robots, which play a custom 2/1 system.
Check the robot system notes. The robots sometimes deviate from notes if simulations lead them to alternate conclusions.
The robot’s understanding of what a bid means can be seen by hovering over the highlighted bid. If the bid is not highlighted, it means the robots have no special understanding or conventional definition.

Get acquainted with the GIB bots! Visit the “Robot World” in BBO and play in one of the different tournaments, like the new ACBL Daylong. If you are looking for some informal practice, just rent three robots to play some hands.
