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 the NAP
District Finals at the Cincinnati Bridge Center (October 19 & 20,
2023). How
exactly does the NAP work? You may have heard of the NAP, or even “qualified”
at a local club game, but you may still have questions. . . . Hopefully, we can
provide some answers. Q:
What is the NAP? Q: How is the event structured? How many pairs move on to the NAP Finals in Dallas? A: The contest has three Flights: Flight A (open); Flight B (fewer than 2500 masterpoints); and Flight C (non-Life Master with fewer than 500 masterpoints). Our District will send the top 3 pairs in Flight A and the top 4 in Flight B and Flight C from the District Finals on to the NABC Finals. Q: What day can I play? Can I play in more than one flight? A: All 3 Flights do not hold their District Finals on the same day. The Finals for Flight B will be Saturday, October 19, and the Finals for Flights A and C will be Sunday, October 20. Times are shown above. A: Yes! Of course, you need to be under the masterpoint limit in your Flight, and you must have qualified at an NAPQ club game held in June through August 2024 (more on that below), but you may play in the District Final in Flights A and B or in Flights B and C. However, a person or pair may represent a district in only one flight at the national level, so if you happen to place in the Top 3 in multiple Flights at the District Finals, you will have to choose a Flight in which to compete in the NABC Finals. A: To play in the District Finals in Cincinnati, you must “qualify” at a local club anywhere in the District. NAP Qualifying games may be held twice per month at each club during the months of June, July, and August. To qualify for a particular Flight at your club, you must finish in the top 50% of that section (rounded up and including ties); in addition, any pair with at least an “average” score not in the top half of a section also qualifies. A: The ACBL sanction fee is increased for these games, so that’s why most clubs charge a bit more. However, NAP qualifying games are “100% sectionally rated,” paying 50/50 red / black points. This means that winners get triple the points than they typically would at a “regular” club game. For an additional buck, it’s really one of the best deals around! TOP Q: Do I have to play in the District finals with a player I qualified with at the club level? A: No, club level qualification is earned as an individual and not as a partnership. You may play in club qualifying games with as many different partners as desired. Both members of a partnership must, of course, be individually qualified at the club level to play together at the District Finals in Cincinnati. Q: Is there a Unit qualifying event? A: Some Districts have separate qualifying events at the Unit level; our District has eliminated the Unit final, qualifying individuals directly from the club level to the District Finals. Q: Do the winners of the District Finals receive any financial support? Yes! The first place winners of the District Finals in each Flight will receive $700 per person, and the second place winners receive $300 per person. These awards are paid directly from the ACBL at the NABC site. Our District provides a $200 per person award to the third place winners in each Flight, and $150 to fourth place finishers in Flights B and C, payable afterwards with proof of participation. A: We’re not sure why you wouldn’t, as it’s a real honor to participate in the National NAP Finals. However, if for some reason you or your partner can’t make it (and there are no substitutions allowed), please let the ACBL know so they can extend an invitation to the next place finisher in your Flight. A: It’s a little complicated: the District Finals pay red points for session awards, gold points for section tops in Flights A and B (red in Flight C), and gold for overall awards (25% gold/75% red for Flight C). A: The NAP District 11 Finals are conducted as a two-session pairs event. You must play in both sessions. Flight A finals will be a Mitchell movement in the morning and a Howell movement in the afternoon (attendance permitting) to provide more head-to-head play and a fairer overall result. Flights B&C will be Mitchell movements throughout. |
