North American Open Pairs--Qualify at Local Clubs for District Qualification Event
The North American Open Pairs (NAOP) is a great opportunity for players at all levels to compete in a national ACBL tournament. The NAOP is played in three brackets:

Flight A--Unlimted Masterpoints
Flight B--0-2500 Masterpoints
Flight C--0-750 Masterpoints who are not Life Masters

Qualification is a two step process. First qualify at your regular club game during June, July and August and then qualify to represent our District at the two-day four-sesssion District qualification tournament in Erie, PA on October 8 and 9. The top three pairs in Flight A and the top four pairs in Flights B and C will qualify to compete at the 2017 Spring NABC in Kansas City. The Unit and District will provide small finacial assistance to pairs that qualify.

The NAOP is lots of fun and the Erie qualifying event is small, so chances to qualify for the NAOP in Kansas City are really good.

The Kansas City NAOP Flight A dates are March 8 and 9 and the B & C dates are March 12 and 13.

Our Barb Bacon is the District NAOP Coordinator and does a great job putting on the evnet in Erie. Her cookies are worth the trip. Let's turn out in great nuumber to win the NAOP qualifiers!
