Welcome to Unit 171, District 7

Unit 171 is very proud to once again present this event.  It has become one of the largest Sectional/NLM Regional tournaments in the country! We invite all players who love bridge and the attractions of the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of Western NC to once again experience the hospitality of Flat Rock's Blue Ridge Community College, its excellent playing conditions, and the now famous W(h)ine and Cheese receptions.
