The Truscott Open Board-A-Match will be held on Saturday and Sunday of the Big Apple Winter Regional. There is a 2-session qualifier on Saturday Dec. 28 and final on Sunday Dec 29th.
The Truscott BAM is the premiere event of the entire tournament, and one of the strongest fields you will find at any regional. GNYBA President David Moss says, “The Truscott BAM provides top teams with a very competitive field and it gives aspiring players an opportunity to play against national and world champions.”
