The vast majority of ACBL members play in local club games. To recognize achievement at the club level, the Ace of Clubs competition was created in 1984. These club champions are recognized at the unit level and ACBL-wide. All points won at the club level are counted in this contest with the exception of those won in STaCs. This award was renamed in 2011 in honor of Grand Life Master Helen Shanbrom of Tamarac FL. Shanbrom was one of the most active players in the ACBL for decades and won the top category of the Ace of Clubs more times than any other member in ACBL history.
An Ace of Clubs award is given to the player in each unit and each region who gains the most masterpoints in club games in each calendar year, compared to all players starting the year with a similar number of masterpoints. The masterpoint strata are 0-5, 5-20, 20-50, 50-100, 100-200, 200-300, 300-500, 500-1000, 1000-1500, 1500-2500, 2500-3500, 3500-5000, 5000-7500, 7500-1000 and over 10000 masterpoints; a unit can have a winner in each of these masterpoint strata.
