Plant the Seeds of Success with Grassroots Month
May is Grassroots Month, and bridge players are invited to play in special games all month long. Wherever you play, every Grassroots Game supports a meaningful cause, and most give you a shot at upgraded masterpoint awards.
Your play helps fund your district’s Grand National Teams (GNT) and North American Pairs (NAP) events, helping more players make it to the national and international stage. Do some good, earn some points and have a genuinely fun game while you’re at it.
How to Get in on the Action
Face-to-Face Clubs
All month long, clubs can host special Grassroots Games during any sanctioned session (yes, any!) to support their district aiding GNT and NAP players.
ACBL World on BBO
From May 11-17, join the Grassroots GOLD Series – Online Edition. Register for $15, then play at least two ACBL World 18-board games to qualify for a gold bonus. Three flights, three sets of winners, plenty of chances to shine.

The Real Deal, played on RealBridge
All month, games award double black points, and entry fees support the fundraiser. Simple, satisfying, effective.
ACBL Clubhouse and e-Clubs
Grassroots Week (May 25-29) brings even more chances to join the fun, with games that support the fundraiser and award double black points.
How to Get in on the Action
Funds raised help send players to NAP and GNT competitions. Club games keep funds in their home district, while amounts from ACBL World and The Real Deal games are pooled and shared evenly across all 25 districts.
Your entry today helps someone from your district compete tomorrow. So why not play another game, earn a little extra and grow something great?
Don't LEAF this opportunity behind!
