What is the difference between a robot race and a money bridge tournament?

RR = 25 cents
MBT = $1, with 80% returned in prizes

Otherwise identical

In MBT you can win money, in RR you win BBO points. I.e. they're like MBT but just for fun.

It seems to me that you win BBO points (if that is the same as BBO$) at both MBT and RR...

RR = 25 cents
MBT = $1, with 80% returned in prizes (I'd say its $0.20 effectively, cheaper for good players, more ex for bad players)

Both give BBO MP.

Otherwise identical

No, BBO points are not the same as BBO$. BBO$ is real cash that you can spend on BridgeBase services. BBO points are just ego boosters.
