Once registered you can go offline, but please be back to the registration page at least 6 minutes before game time. If you are not online when the game starts you will be removed from the game. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A CONVENTION CARD WITH YOUR PARTNER BEFORE THE GAME STARTS
Important Note: Since we all know that Internet is hit and miss in the Northern Neck, it is important that when you see your game is frozen quickly log off and then log back on. When you see "(Reserved)" after a name that means they are disconnected and may not know it. Please be patient the director is working to get them back or to get a substitute. If and when your partner returns, they will be reseated.

Originally inhabited by eight Virginia Indian tribes who established villages along its shores, Virginia’s Northern Neck is one of the most historic regions in Virginia. In 1608, Captain John Smith referred to it “as a place heaven and earth never agreed better to frame man’s habitation.”
This peninsula rests between the Potomac and the Rappahannock Rivers and spills into the Chesapeake Bay was part of the enormous 1649 land grant by Charles II, known as the Fairfax Grant. The bountiful waters of the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay supported and induced English settlement. The English built stately homes and farmed tobacco for export to England, which became the basis of the Northern Neck’s economy during the Colonial era. The Northern Neck’s most famous son, George Washington, born on Pope’s Creek off the Potomac River, called the region “the Garden of Virginia.”
The waters of the Potomac River, Rappahannock River, the Chesapeake Bay and their tributaries provide a haven for boaters and water enthusiasts, and have supported a fishing industry for generations. At the present, Colonial architecture, small-town charm, bed & breakfast inns, eight wineries, seventeen museums, historic sites and marinas are among the valuable assets that attract visitors to the area. The Northern Neck (NNK) encourages you to slow down and reconnect with nature and history. It’s one of the best-kept secrets along the eastern seaboard.
