We do have a "lost and found" area, though it's
not really marked! If you look next to the coat
rack on a spare side table, you'll see a
collection of sunglasses, water bottles, a
watch, and convention cards that need to make
their way back home.
At some future date, we'll refresh the area by
discarding the lost items, so give it a look
next time you visit!
NAP qualifiers last chance
This week our Open Pairs games will all be NAP
Qualifiers. The masterpoint awards are huge, and
paid as 50% black and 50% red points. The $1
extra card fee goes to help pay some travel
reimbursement for the pairs qualifying from
District 23 to compete at the spring nationals
next March in Memphis.
There are three strata, non-Life Masters under
500 points, players under 2500 points, and the
Open championship strat. Your qualification for
a strat is determined by your masterpoint
holding on May 6, 2024, when masterpoints were
compiled from events through April 30. If you
went over 500 or over 2500 since then, you're
still eligible for the lower level. Check the
back of your June ACBL Bulletin to be
sure.
For all the details about the North American
Pairs in District 23, including game
reservations for the district final on October
27, visit the NAP information page here: https://nap.bridgemojo.com/
Are you curious if you've already qualified?
Look for your name on the District 23 qualifier list here.
(Note that the list is sorted by unit number.)
