I kept getting bounced avid made in eligible to play most tournaments.

How can mobile app users buy entries?

Are you asking how mobile users add money to their BB$ account? You can't currently do that from the mobile app -- we're trying to avoid running into Apple's restrictions on commercial apps (they want a cut). You have to purchase BB$ from the regular BBO application, or just go to the web page that it uses:

Regarding the train, you need a stable Internet connection. If the train's Internet keeps dropping out, I don't think it's fair of you to enter tourneys (except robot tourneys, and they don't have restrictions so I think you should be OK).

There's nothing to do about this, except for spending a few billion dollars redoing our cellular infrastructure. Sadly, every time your train changes from one cell tower's radius to another, you'll get temporarily dropped, which will mess with BBO enough to drop you.

Sorry for the bad news.
