I am losing the thread...

Loaded with too much work, these days I have a problem remembering my own name. A few days ago, I had found two challenges - by Stephen Tu and crazy4hoop. I accepted both and started to play Stephen's match. After only few boards I had to go.
Tonight, I logged in to finish at least one challenge. Stephen "light" was green, crazy4hoop's yellow. "Wut, crazy4hoop haven't played yet", I thought. I finished St's match, he's light became red...
"Wut", again thought I, "So Stephen didn't play and I probably forgot to accept crazy4hoop's challenge"... And tim_ucin's challenge showed up, I accepted...
Do I remind you of James Joyce, or of William Faulkner?

Anyway...
Stephen hurry up!
crazy4hoop DON'T hurry!

Should I decline crazy4hoop's challenge now, or should I wait for him to cancel it? I don't know what I am going to do (except that I'll sleep very deeply)...

You can see the timestamp of when the challenge finishes when you click on it - if it's a very tight timeframe as is likely, reject and issue a new one.

I cannot play the hands until povratnik accepts. The challenge expires August 14 at 5:49pm EDT so I won't cancel it yet. I hope everyone is healthy and safe.

Hi - I have completed a challenge with tim_ucin.
Have challenged GIB and povratnik but they have not accepted.

When you challenge a robot you can play it immediately. Are you sure you followed the instructions in the first post, rather than attempting to challenge a human named GIB?

*Pools A and C should use "challenge a robot" to complete the challenge against GIB.

Thanks Stephen. I have never competed in anything before except regular Club games.
I started playing in Feb 2019. So the ins and outs of competitive Bridge are a complete mystery to me.
Here is the screenshot. I 'friended' Gisele first to check that she was a person so I thought she was human, but who can tell?

It won't let me start until they 'accept'.

pilowsky hit the "challenge a robot" button to play the actual robot GIB.

You can ignore the challenge against the human person who has chosen "gib" as her username and still play the robot, even when she hasn't accepted yet as that is just a separate challenge. You weren't supposed to challenge her, though you can play her for fun if she accepts your challenge.
