Qualification Explanation
Qualifying requires placing in the top 50% of the field for your eligible flight. For example, a pair of Flight C eligible players who are overall in the top half would qualifier for NAP Flight Open, A, B, and C. A pair that is only 45% overall but still in the top half of Flight B and C pairs would qualify for Flights B and C.
When a pair qualifies for an NAP Flight, both individuals are qualified but may play in the district finals with a different qualified partner. In other words, you do not have to play in the district finals with the same partner as your club qualifier.
When a partnership includes players from different flights (say a Flight B and Flight C player), then that pair may only qualify for the higher flights during that game (Flight A or B). There are also special club qualifier games for 0-500 players (check the online schedule), which can be helpful for Flight C pairs attempting to qualify. You may also qualify in a different district’s NAP club qualifier game, both face-to-face or online, if the Bridge and Games and Alliance schedules do not align with yours.
NAP Club Qualification is always a complicated and confusing process, but fortunately, there are a still lots of chances to qualify.

Four NAP Flights This Year
The big change this year is the 4th flight. To mirror GNT flights, players with 0-6000 Masterpoints will play in Flight A, while the old Flight A will now be called the Open or Championship Flight. All flights send the top 3 pairs to the NABCs to represent the District, as opposed to the old method of Open Flight sending 3 pairs and Flights B and C sending 4 each. Do the math and it really means we are sending 12 pairs, up from 11 pairs, with many more pairs coming from the Mid-Flight and post Mid-Flight range (750-6000).
