Flight A and C of the North American Pairs (NAP) District 24 Finals are this Sunday, October 18, 10am, and this year everyone can play from the comfort of home!
The NAPs are one of the best opportunities for bridge players of all experience levels to compete for generous gold Masterpoints and the chance to represent District 24 at the national championships. Best of all, the event runs in four flights, with Flight C consisting only of other players in NYC and Long Island who are all non-life-masters with 0-750 Masterpoints. Flight A is in its second year, allowing players with 0-6000 Masterpoints.
Sunday, October 18 — Flights A and C
Flight A: Open to players with 0–6,000 masterpoints. First place is worth approximately 25.6 gold points, with 19.2 for second.

Compete for a trip to the Spring 2027 NABC in Dallas!
The top three pairs in Flight A and top four pairs in Flight C qualify to represent District 24 at the Spring 2027 North American Bridge Championships in Dallas, Texas. Flight A is March 10–11, 2027 while Flight C is March 20-21, 2027
The top winners also receive travel subsidies to eligible qualifying pairs who attend the national finals: $1,400 per pair for first place and $600 per pair for second place. Those who win but choose not to attend the national finals will keep the Masterpoints but will not be eligible for the travel subsidy.

If you’ve qualified but have never played in a District Final, this is a wonderful year to try! The online format makes participation easier than ever, and the limited-masterpoint flights give everyone a meaningful opportunity to compete.
We hope to see you at the virtual tables this Sunday!
