Gone are the days when Canadian bridge players could compete in ACBL BBO tournaments at a reasonable cost.

Five years ago, one Canadian dollar was worth .76 US dollars
Today, one Canadian dollar is worth .73 US dollars

During that time the exchange rate fell as low as .7 and as high as .83

But, in the grand scheme of things, its been reasonable stable.

I'm sorry that your currency isn't worth what you wish it might be.
That is hardly the ACBL's problem.

CAN$$$$ is a problem but the main problem is BBO/ACBL insane increase in tournament registration costs, probably close to 200% in the last few years.
