Club Qualifiers for the annual North American Pairs tournament can be held in June, July and August. Just like last year, players can qualify either at face-to- face clubs or online in Virtual Clubs.
Club qualifying games award extra masterpoints which are half red and half black. ACBL charges clubs extra fees for these games and that extra money will be used to subsidize sending District winners to the Spring NABC in New Orleans.
There are three flights of NAP games. Flight A is the Open flight. Flight B includes players with fewer than 2,500 masterpoints. Flight C is for non-Life Masters with fewer than 500 masterpoints. This includes all masterpoints earned through May 2022.
All D21 players who qualify in a club game are eligible to play in the District 21 Final, which has yet to be scheduled. Please visit the D21 website for updates! Unit Qualifiers will not be required for the 2022-23 NAPs.
