Help
I'm unable to register in the weekend survivor which because the maximum number of registrants has been reached.
20,000 does seem like a lot.

It took a pinball wizard to register in almost any free tournament this evening WET.
Free TCR tournaments are already an endangered species.
In the meantime I read:

The price of a short robot tournament now vastly exceeds the cost of renting a robot.
So unless you really value BBO points from best hand tourneys or you have some cash you want to get rid of, these tournaments are rapidly losing their appeal.
Particularly since their main use (for me anyway) is declarer practice.
My favourite part of the message was:
I wasn't sure if I should test the image or rate it as a test - of what?And there are no stars to click on so that's a problem.

I investigated and you were one of the few who got that message. Apparently you were winning too often and BBO wanted to let other players have a chance to win.

Well that explains it.
I always wondered if there was a limit on the number of free tournaments I was allowed to win before other people started to complain.
