Swiss Team games are great fun to play and grant generous master point awards at sectional, regional, and national tournaments! Now you have the chance to play at the club level in our monthly games hosted by John Schwartz and Will Watson.
These games are a wonderful opportunity to polish one’s Swiss Team skills throughout the year and especially prior to sectional, regional, and national tournaments. If you are less experienced or have never played in a Swiss Team game and would like to play Swiss Teams at future tournaments, these Swiss Team club games are a perfect opportunity to gain experience in a more relaxed club game environment. For those less experienced Swiss Team players, here are slides from a Swiss Team strategy lecture from a Swiss Team strategy lecture given in August 2023..
These games will have an Open and a Limited section. They will award 100% black points.
A light lunch will be served.

Gold Points Shimmer at Clubs During Stardust Week
Stardust Week, where players can earn 25% gold points and 75% black points, has been a mainstay at ACBL Virtual Clubs for years. But this year, we’re expanding the event to face-to-face clubs, too!
What makes Stardust Week so special is the gold. If you aren’t familiar, to climb the ACBL ranks, you need to earn masterpoints in a variety of pigments. Usually, gold points are only available at regional tournaments and NABCs, but with Stardust Week, you have a chance to earn gold at the club.
