NYC Silver Points with Early Bird Discounts

The Unit is happy to offer 3 unique changes to earn silver points, all subsidized for those who pre-register early enough. Each event is part of an ACBL sanctioned sectional or STaC tournament and pays more generously than a normal club game. At last, this is the long-awaited NYC sectional.

Sunday April 3rd, 1pm: 0-500 swiss teams
(single-session, 50% early bird discount)

Friday April 8th, 1pm: open Pairs
(register by emailing jenksbetsy@gmail.com)

Friday April 8th, 6:30pm: open IMP Pairs
(single-session, 50% early bird discount)

Saturday April 9th, 1pm: 0-750 Pairs
Saturday April 9th, 1pm: Open Pairs
(register for either by emailing jenksbetsy@gmail.com)

Sunday April 10th, 10am: Bracketed Teams
(two-session with lunch included, 20% early bird discount)

Each event will be held at Bridge and Games, the club at 177 East 87th Street. To accelerate the return to face-to-face bridge, the unit is covering a significant portion of the costs for those who pre-register early in each event. In fact, the limited 0-500 swiss on April 3rd is half off, but only if you register by Thursday night.

Also, the Sunday April 10th swiss is the first two-session, face-to-face bracketed swiss held in NYC in many years. For the past decade or two, anyone who wanted to earn silver points while playing bracketed teams had to make a trek to Woodbridge or Allendale. And while it’s true we are excited to see Allendale making a return on April 29th and April 30th, their current flyer only has pairs events. They have omitted the usual Sunday teams (I wonder why). That’s ok, though, because NYC folks have GNT Flight B that weekend…
