BBO Guides & How to?

Players are permitted to rent a robot to play with in pairs tournaments. This is a service offered by BBO, and costs a nominal amount. The robot plays a natural 2/1 system.

When playing in a tournament, use a mouse pointer to hover over a bid which the robot makes, or a bid you want to potentially make, to see the description of how the robot will interpret the bid. This also works with a finger tap on a mobile device (phone/ipad), but be careful not to press the bid, unless you have the "confirm bids" option enabled in your BBO settings.

To enter with a robot, find the tournament in Virtual Clubs, and on the registration screen will be a blue button which says "Play with Robot (0.49 BB$)". Click this, and you'll be registered to play. If you want to change your mind, simply click on the "Cancel" button, and deregister.
