Hall of Fame, Summer Session
There’s an amazing list of bridge legends who will be inducted into the ACBL Hall of Fame this year! Because of the NABC hiatus, we are having two induction ceremonies, one at the Summer NABC and one at the Fall NABC.
Join us in Providence for the inductions of: Larry Cohen, Marty Bergen, Lynn Deas, Beth Palmer, John Sutherlin and Sol Weinstein. Part 1 will also feature Team Scotland receiving the 2021 Sidney H. Lazard Jr. Sportsmanship award.
Tickets for Part 1 are on sale now. Get yours today as seating is limited!
Youth NABC will be in the Summer, Too
The Summer NABC will be huge! Another event being held in conjunction with it is the Youth NABC (JulY. 21-23), and time to pre-register is running out. Deadline is June 15!
Why should youth pre-register? Because you’ll for sure get an exclusive T-shirt in your size (and our Youth NABC T-shirts are always amazing).
Have a Great NABC Story?
The North American Bridge Championships (a.k.a., the NABCs) are truly spectacular events. Wall-to-wall bridge over 10 days with players from around the world. But that’s only part of the story.
Many of you have had unique experiences at an NABC. We’ve heard tales of people who go every year, players who have made a love match at the table, father-and-son duos crossing the country, event winners who are still in school, first-time tournament attendees – all incredibly fascinating!
