NAP qualifiers coming to your local club
Extra masterpoints and an opportunity to play in an
NABC event await players who participate in the North
American Pairs qualifying games at their local clubs.
Qualifying games start in June and continue through August.
There are three flights: A - open to anyone; B - for
players with less than 2500 masterpoints; C - for non-Life
Masters with less than 500 points.
NAP qualifying club games award half red and half
black masterpoints for most participants. Pairs who score
50% or better qualify for the next round. Check with your
unit or district to determine whether your next qualifier
is at the unit or district level. Each of ACBL's 25 districts
will be represented in the national contest. The top three
pairs in Flight A and the top four pairs in Flights B and C
in the district final will be eligible to play in the national
final.
The ACBL provides subsidies for first and second
among the qualifiers to the national event, which will
take place at the 2023 Spring NABC in New Orleans.
The first-place pair in the final qualifying event will
earn $700 per player in each flight. The subsidy for the
second-place pair in each flight is $300 per player. There
is no subsidy for the third-place pair. Depending on high
participation at the club level, pairs in two districts will
receive enhanced subsidies for Flights B and C.
The NAP is one of two grassroots qualifying events on
the ACBL calendar, the other being the Grand National
Teams.
