STAGE ONE
It is important that the unit NAP coordinator contacts the clubs
within the unit’s jurisdiction to encourage them to hold NAP qualifying
sessions which are a benefit for their players.
Stage one is played at local clubs during June, July and August.
(Note: Club NAP games may not be scheduled during a higher rated
tournament in the area. Check all of your proposed dates with
the unit’s tournament coordinator who will be keeping a calendar
of events.) Most clubs stratify their games in order to accommodate
all players. There are NO restrictions at the club level concerning
membership or residency.
Masterpoints are awarded at sectional open rating and are
1⁄2 red, 1⁄2 black. A club having a “stand-alone” section for Flight
C may stratify the event with an under 100 masterpoint strat
and another strat for under 20 masterpoints. This format allows
the newer player an opportunity to compete and experience
tournament play.
Note: The lower strats of Flight C award black points only.
The club director of a stage-one NAP must send the unit NAP
coordinator a list of the names of the players who qualify for the
unit qualifying event.
Note: A unit may sponsor a stage-one qualifying event for players.
Note: Units may combine and jointly sponsor a unit qualifying
session(s).
STAGE TWO
Stage two is the unit NAP coordinator’s main responsibility.
It must be held after September 1st and prior to the district final.
The game may not conflict with a regional in the district or during
the North American Bridge Championships. Select the date,
location, starting times and director before the stage-one sessions
commence (and verify the dates with the unit’s tournament coordinator),
so that the unit final can be advertised at the time of the
stage-one games.
The NAP unit coordinator must complete sanction form 505U/
SE and send it to the NAP district coordinator for approval. The
NAP district coordinator will forward the sanction to ACBL. The
NAP unit coordinator will receive a sanction number, forms and
other information in a kit designed for this event. The sanctioning
must be completed in time for the NAP unit coordinator to promote
the event at the club level and encourage contestants to compete in
the unit qualifying games.
Two-session unit qualifying events award a percentage of gold
points to overall placers. This event is followed by the district NAP
finals.* The unit NAP coordinator will issue qualifying slips to the
eligible players and send a copy of the qualifiers (with flights) to
the district NAP coordinator.
DESCRIPTION OF THE GNT (Conditions of Contest)
This event is a major ACBL team championship conducted with district (and sometimes unit) qualifying rounds that lead to a final round held in conjunction with the Summer NABC. The Grand National Teams (GNT) is a district event. The conditions of contest for each of the districts are unique and adapted to meet the needs of their constituents. Some districts have a full program of club and unit qualifying events followed by a district final. Some districts have a two-session unit-level qualifying followed by a two-session district final Some districts have district semifinals where combined units qualify teams to meet in KO matches to determine district representatives. Some districts have only district level events. The district conditions of contest for the GNT may request units to combine and jointly sponsor unit qualifying sessions. Therefore, this program varies from district to district. The unit president will need to check with the district GNT coordinator to see if it is necessary to have a unit GNT coordinator. The ACBL does not offer any subsidies to the grand national team district finalists. Some districts and units offer financial support to their district team representatives.
