The game will be FREE for all CBA members. 2024 North American Pairs (NAP) Qualifiers
Part
of the beauty of duplicate bridge is that it allows us to enjoy the
game at our own pace. Many of us love to play at the club level, and
some prefer tournament-level games, or even national events.
The
North American Pairs, or NAP, is a special opportunity to give that
“next level” a try. The District 11 Board and the Cincinnati Bridge
Association invites you to participate in theNAP District Finals at the Cincinnati Bridge Center (October 14 & 15, 2023).
Check if you and your partner have quailifed here.
Supervised Play
Reminder
that Supervised Play will continue to be held on Saturday mornings with
a free lecture starting at 9:30am, followed by supervised play. The
schedule can be found here. New Play and Learn Under 200 MP
Tuesdays Want to
have fun, improve your game and get some ACBL masterpoints? Bill Brewer
offers a new series for 0-200 MP players on Tuesdays from 9-12 PM.
You will play 18 boards and can ask questions and get advise as you
play. You can play, learn, laugh and have fun. You will become
more comfortable with the bidding boxes, bridgemates,
bidding/conventions and play of the hand. You will also receive a hand
record of the hands played for further study. Best of all you can get
some ACBL masterpoints. If you already have partner you may play
together, and if you don’t have a partner we will arrange for one. See you there! Bill
