Huge thanks to Stephannie Culbertson, David Moss, Melanie Petsch, and many others for organizing the first Pro-Am game in NYC since November 3rd, 2019! Fun fact, there was supposed to be a Pro-Am on March 15th, 2020, cancelled due to Covid. The following day, Monday March 16th, 2020, was a relatively packed night with an open game, 0-750 game, and a Flight C GNT KO that went into overtime boards — the last board ever played at old Honors!
Thanks to all the volunteering “Pro” players who will be introducing many of our Ams to team bridge for the first time.
NAP Flight A / C on Sunday, October 27th
As a reminder, Honors will host the NAP Flight A and Flight C game on Sunday, October 27th at 11am. Please be sure that you have checked you and your partner are eligible to play. As always, top 3 A pair and top 4 C pairs will be invited to represent New York City and Long Island at the national finals in March 2025. Just like last year, if any of the eligible pairs are not able to compete in the NABC, then the honor goes down the line to the next highest pair based on overall score.
NAP Flight B on Sunday, November 3rd + Club Side Games
BRIDGExpress is hosting the NAP Flight B game for qualifying 0-2500 players on Sunday, November 3rd at 11am, paying the usual generous gold and red points. However, there is something for everyone at Lake Success that day.
Alongside the NAP B game, they will run a two-session open “Cha Cha’s Challenge of Champions” game also starting at 11am. It’s unclear whether it will be a true two-session game with carry over, or sectional sytle with two separate single-session games, but we will find out very shortly. The games will have a Unit Championship rating, which is the same as a STAC except all black points.
For those that only want to play a single session, they will offer that an a single session open pairs as well, also starting at 11am. Again, this is hot off the presses so we will find out shortly whether the single-session game is a completely separate club game, or simply the first session of the Cha Cha Challenge.
Here is the Super Sunday Flyer to learn more.
