TOURNAMENT UPDATE

As COVID-19 is still in the community, the safety of our membership, staff and volunteers continues to be of prime importance to ACBL. As a result, regionals and sectionals along with the Spring and Summer NABC have been canceled through July. This includes the cancellation of remaining non-life master tournaments or other tournaments this year where ACBL tournament directors are not technically required.

North American Pair Qualifiers - June - July - August

Clubs will be running NAP Club qualifier games both in f2f and virtual play during the months of June, July and August.

The NAP games award upgraded points: 200% of Standard Masterpoint rating, divided evenly between Red and Black masterpoints.

The strats are set by ACBL:

1. Flight A Open to any player

2. Flight B Players with < 2500 MPs as of the June 2021 masterpoint cycle*

3. Flight C Non-Life Masters with fewer than 500 MPs as of the June 2021 masterpoint cycle*

Mixed Flight Partnerships
Partnerships consisting of players of different flights will be entered in the flight eligible to the top player.
Any player who qualifies in a flight higher than his own is deemed to have also qualified in his own flight for the next level of competition.

Qualification:
The first way a player earns qualification in these games is to achieve 50% or greater. This applies to ALL FLIGHTS. Any player in any flight with a 50% or higher score will qualify.

The second way a player can qualify is to score in the top half ot their stratum. Note that if a field has 2 or fewer pairs, both players will qualify.

ACBL will run monthly reporting, the results of which will trigger ACBL emails sent to players who qualified, confirming their status. (These reports will run beginning in July for the month prior.

Club Level Qualification:
Club level qualification may be earned at any club in any Unit in any District. Clubs may be in-person or online VACB virtual clubs.

* The June 2021 masterpoint cycle is run by ACBL data processing on May 6, 2021. Any points won but not included in this cycle do not affect masterpoint eligibility
