About half of our June, July, and August games are club-level qualifiers for the North American Pairs. NAP games award half-red, half-black masterpoints at about triple the level of regular games (82% sectional rating).

Players who qualify in at least one of these games (look for a “Q” next to your name on the results) may play in the New England District Finals November 10-15 in Woburn. The top three or four pairs in each flight will qualify for the North American Finals at the 2027 Spring North American Bridge Championships in Dallas and receive subsidies to help with their travel expenses.

Note that most of our non-NAP games in June, July, and August are also special games, awarding masterpoints at 64% or 82% sectional rating—about 2½ or 3 times the level of regular games. Please click here for more information about club special games.

Players with <500 masterpoints are invited to play in our Monday 10:30 open games in Wellesley for $5! Come with or without a partner—we’ll find you a partner.
