COVID Protocols for National,
Regional and Sectional
Tournaments
Based upon the most recently received
guidance from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
the following mandatory policies will be
in effect until further notice:
1. Vaccination: All staff, players and
volunteers must be vaccinated with a
complete set of vaccinations completed
no less than 14 days before the date of
the event in which the player wishes to
purchase an entry (booster shots are
not included in this policy at this time).
Unless prohibited by law, each player
must provide proof of vaccination to the
Event Safety Coordinator or a member
of their staff. In areas or locations where
requiring proof of vaccination is prohibited
by law, the event sponsor must
put in place other precautions, such as
mandatory rapid COVID testing and/or
mask requirements.
2. Mask Requirements: Due to
the CDC's updated recommendations
released on Friday, Feb. 25, the ACBL's
COVID protocols for tournaments have
changed effective March 1, 2022. These
standards apply to all tournaments -
sectionals, regionals and NABCs.
If the COVID-19 Community Level
as determined by the CDC is " high, "
face masks will be required. Masks will
be optional (though they are always
recommended) for tournaments held in
counties notated as having a " low " or
" medium " Community Level as indicated
by the CDC.
Visit cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/
your-health/covid-by-county.html to
check by county.
This ACBL policy does not countermand
any ordinance or law in effect at
the site of the tournament and is effective
until further notice.
3. Hand Sanitizer: Hand sanitizer
must be readily available inside the
playing area.
4. Event Safety Coordinator: Each
tournament sponsor must provide a
designated Event Safety Coordinator,
who will be available to review proof of
vaccinations, etc.
Please note that all the above are
subject to change at any time. Please
check with the Tournament Chair for
any clarification or further information.
