There are many events slated for Greater New York bridge players in the coming months. We will highlight some of them here.
Pro-Am Teams: Sunday, September 28th
There is still time to play in the Pro-Am Teams event on September 28th. Email proam@gnyba.org if you have questions.
NAP Open Flight: Sunday, October 5th at 10am
One of the premier District events each year, the Open Flight NAP welcomes all D24 players to compete among the very best. For all NAP events, club qualification is required and your name should appear on the NAP Club Qualifier list for D24 (we know there are some cases that slipped through cracks, make sure you have the game link saved if it applies to you). As always, you will win generous amounts of gold points if you make it to the overall winners of the one-session event, and unlike GNTs, the District finals are over and done in just one day (48-54 boards). The top three pairs will qualify to the national finals to win platinum points against the top pairs of every other District in ACBL.
NAP Flight B (0-3000): Sunday, October 26th at 10am
The increasingly popular 0-3000 gang in our District grows larger and more competitive by the year. The top four pairs will be invited to represent New York City and Long Island in the national finals in St. Louis. Even those who do not plan to go are welcome to compete in the district finals and win gold points. You are also welcome to play in multiple flights. We expect a lot of overlap of players who are playing A and B or B and C. There might be be folks trying for three flights: Open, A, and B or Open, B, and C. The more the merrier, but if you win in multiple flights, you may only represent the District in one flight. As usual, Flight B and C are held on the final weekend in the national finals: March 7th and March 8th 2026.
NAP Flight A (0-6000) : Sunday, November 2nd at 10am
The all new Flight A welcomes players with 0 to 6000 Masterpoints to complete and win generous gold points. Also new this year, the national finals will award 5% platinum points for overall award winners during the Feb 25th and Feb 26th 2026 event in St. Louis, MO. In prior years, platinum points were only awarded for NABC+ and 10K NABC events. Three pairs from D24 will be selected to represent us in the national finals
NAP Flight C (0-750 nlm) : Sunday, November 2nd at 10am
Also on the same day as Flight A, the Flight C District finals are for those with fewer than 750 Masterpoints as of May 31st, 2025. As always with Flight C, you also must not have achieved the rank of Life Master, which applies whether you achieved LM at 500 or the grandfathered 300. Awards at the district level are half gold and half red. The District will invite the top 4 pairs to attend the national finals in March 2026.
Winter 2025 Regional: Dec 26th thru Dec 29th
The NYC Winter Regional is back and will once again be held in Times Square. The Dates are Dec 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th for four days of holiday bridge fun.
