ACBL Announcement

Due to continued restrictions in place across the continent due to COVID-19, both the North American Pairs and Grand National Teams events were canceled for 2020.

With regard to the 2020-2021 NAP, the qualifiers from the 2019-2020 season will play their final during the North American Online Bridge Championships on March 11-12, 2021.

For the 2019-2020 GNT, districts who have completed their district finals may choose to send those teams to the National final in the summer of 2021 or may restart from scratch. Those who qualified will be eligible to play in 2021 based on their masterpoint standing at the time of the original qualifying event. This is a district option, not the ACBL’s.
