ACBL "Instant" Games Why so many "N/A's" in board scores?

I've played many "Instant" ACBL matchpoint games lately -- trying to improve my play of the hand.

Now, lots of "N/A's" pop up in the first many positions on the board. Today I was 5/15 and the first score after many N/A's. No recognition or points.

What does this mean? What is happening?

Thank you.

When you play an instant tournament, you're playing boards that were played a while ago in a robot duplicate, and you're scored against a random selection of the original players.

Those players received points when they originally played the tournament, they don't receive more masterpoints this time. So their points are shown as N/A, meaning Not Applicable.
