With the Fall NABC now behind us, it’s not too early to begin thinking about next year’s nationals. You can officially mark your calendars and start working on your team: the opening rounds of the 2020 Grand National Teams (GNT) event for District 24 have been scheduled!
Winners of each flight go on to represent District 24 (New York City and Long Island) at the ACBL 2020 Summer Nationals in Montreal next July.
See the GNT Event Flyer for details. Opening rounds will take place at 11 AM at Honors Bridge Club, as listed below:
- Championship Flight:
Opening Round is Saturday, February 22;
Semi-Final is Sunday, February 23.
- Flight A (0-6000 MPs): Opening Round is Sunday, March 1.
- Flight B (0-2500 MPs): Opening Round is Sunday, February 23.
- Flight C (Non-LM, less than 500 MPs): Opening Round is Sunday, March 1.
ALERT! In Flights B and C only, the top TWO teams will be eligible to represent District 24 at the Nationals if 8 or more teams participate in the Opening Round.
“But can you show me the money!?” So glad you asked…1st Place in Flights B and C will receive a stipend of $1000 per team.
“I don’t do Canada.” May we point out that July is the perfect time to visit Montreal? But if you can’t make it… just play for the points!
The fine print: To participate you must be a member of District 24 as of June 1, 2019. A “team” consists of four to six players. Please check gnyba.org for the full Conditions of Contest.
