DAY LONG TOURNAMENTS ON BBO

The Acol Daylong Tournament on BBO. It's an 8-board game with robots that don't use the GIB 2/1 system, but instead play a simple and friendly version of Acol. So, if you've been putting off playing against the robots because you're not comfortable with the 2/1 system, then this is for you.

You can play whenever's convenient, at your own pace and you don’t need a partner as you're playing with and against advanced robots. Everything is alerted and explained. Click the bids to see what they mean before making a move.

With Daylongs you can take your time and have a break if needed, as long as you finish your boards by midnight GMT.

Michael Coda Cup 2026

The local charity being supported this year is Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival. It is the UK’s oldest carnival and one of the largest illuminated carnival processions in Europe, and has the benefit of encouraging lots of (non-digital) social interactions between all age groups.
