| Online Bridge - Substitutes / Robots |
The Committee has decided that Robots be used to complete half tables at the beginning of the game. This means that substitutes (who may not get a game) will not be required.
Members should familiarise themselves with the system / conventions used by robots in case the member finds themself playing against a robot, or, in the event of your partner becoming disconnected, playing with a robot.
This can be done by logging in to BBO, clicking on 'Help' and then 'Robot's System'.
If the robots qualify for master points they will not be included in the master points list and players affected will be moved up the list.
If a pair do not get into the game at the beginning and robots are being used they can contact the Tournament Director who will replace them.
