So, placement in the tournament doesn't actually matter?
The only thing that we should care about is whether or not we are buying "points"
This is a stupid choice Barry...
Don't try to justify it.
Fix it

What exactly are you talking about? It's working exactly as intended and how it has worked for years - it resets once per week and you can play it as many times as you like. It's an extremely useful tool as you can play through the 8 boards at any time during the week and then compare with YouTubers such as Peter Hollands to see how they did on exactly the same hands, unlike daylongs.
Why would playing in a free tournament be anything to do with buying points?
I assumed nullve was posting this not to report something wrong, but just out of amusement that he managed to play over half the tournament before he realised he was too early and the week hadn't reset yet.

I have come to realise it is futile to expect or hope a regular club game will be run in accordance with the laws. -- Jillybean

Ok, now I know.
(But I will probably never play a Weekly Free Instant Tournament again.)

Any particular reason? You do realise that you're not being compared against other people who are also playing the weekly free / who were able to complete it multiple times - you're being compared against a fixed set of players who played in the original tournament. (Always the same set, which is why you truly can compare your scores against YouTubers).
It is IMO the best robot game offered on BBO - much better than daylongs which are all about the luck of the deal.

I had no idea.
Found a video where Pete Hollands plays and comments on the same boards.

that was already said earlier in this thread of 3 years ago.
Please avoid pointless necros (and BBO please require admin permission to necro after some reasonable period).

I looked for such a feature in the forum settings (I think someone asked for it a week or two ago), I couldn't find it.
