Stratification for open regional events is unlimited/2500/750 unless otherwise noted.
Regional top-flight, mid-flight, and side pair events play 26 or 27 boards per session. Gold Rush pairs play 24 boards per session. Swiss and Round Robin team events typically play 24 boards per session, depending on the event or bracket size.
In gold-point events of two or more sessions, overall awards and section tops are paid in gold to any start that has a maximum of 750 or higher. Side Pairs Series pay gold only to the open strat, and it is necessary to play two or more sessions in the series to earn gold.
All regional team events use the 20-point VP scale.
I/N events are stratified as appropriate at the discretion of the director. No player may be over 300.
Conditions of Contest
Like all Olympic sports, bridge has a precise set of rules for competition. The Conditions of Contest detail these protocols and regulations for every event played at the NABC. Whether you need to know the rules for General Knockout Teams or you are looking for specific information about Blue Ribbon Pairs, the Conditions of Contest will guide you.
Best Practices Teacher Workshop
Teaching bridge or want to start? This workshop equips you with proven techniques for increasing student engagement and will help you be a more effective teacher. The focus is on how, rather than what, to teach. Participants have the opportunity to demonstrate their Best Practices proficiency after the workshop to earn certification as an ACBL Best Practices Teacher.
Best Practices Teacher Certification: To earn it, workshop participants are required to pass a proficiency assessment. Assessments are conducted at the conclusion of the workshop and are scheduled in 1 hour time slots.
Learn Bridge in A Day?®
Move quickly along the initial learning curve. Participants should include true beginners, those returning to bridge after long absences and those wanting to “test the waters” before committing to formal classes. The concentrated course includes both class instruction and coached play.
Notrump in A Day
This workshop explores basic notrump bidding and the most common responses, from raises to Stayman and Jacoby Transfers. If you need help knowing when to use which convention, what your second bid should be or what your partner is telling you, this workshop is for you!
