ABOUT US


Our primary purpose is to conduct tournaments and other special events where duplicate bridge players can compete in a friendly atmosphere.  A high priority is placed upon ethical play and zero tolerance of unacceptable behavior.  Generally, we conduct one or two open sectional tournaments each year, a one day NLM sectional tournament,  and a regional tournament every other year.  We also hold both qualifying games and a unit final for the North American Pairs Championship.  Unit winners may go on and compete in the District 15 final.  Winners of the District 15 final are eligible to compete in the national finals.

Our goal is to further the game of duplicate bridge  under the auspices of the ACBL.  In addition to tournaments and special events, we offer games at our member clubs that are open to all levels of players.  Lessons focused on helping the novice or intermediate player develop their game are sometimes offered at some clubs.  All of our games, tournaments and special events are sanctioned by the ACBL.


Individuals with some experience playing bridge in a social setting will find that there are a few differences in duplicate bridge, primarily scoring and the use of new bidding conventions.  You will participate in a game where your score depends upon how well you and your partner play each individual hand compared to other pairs playing the identical hand--no more hoping for good cards.  Those without any knowledge of bridge will discover the enjoyment of participating in a game that truly challenges the mind.

All players are welcome to play or kibitz at any of member club locations within our unit.  Come and see what duplicate bridge is all about.  Membership in the ACBL is not required.
