North American Bridge Championships

San Francisco

Nov 26 - Dec 7

Whether you’re a beginner or an aspiring world champion, there is something for everyone at the North American Bridge Championship coming to the San Francisco Marriott Marquis from November 27 through December 7. NABCs are the premier bridge events in North America, drawing players from all over the world. But you needn’t be intimidated if you are just starting out. There is an exciting schedule of Gold Rush, Intermediate, and Novice (GRIN) games, lessons, and special events for you. As usual at NABCs, there will be a full schedule of regional, NABC, and NABC+ events. The Fall NABCs feature the Kaplan Blue Ribbon Pairs and the Reisinger Board-a-Match teams.

All members of Unit 498 will get a $10 per session discount on table fees (without having to get a hotel room). Use Entry Express to buy your entries. To get the discount, both members of a pair or all members of a team must buy their entries together.

Bridge Highlights from Kai Eckert

Kai Eckert, our very own Unit champion, is now a Bridge celebrity! He posts Bridge videos on his personal channel and the ACBL YouTube channel with many series on hand analyses, tournament recaps, and where he just plays Bridge. His most popular series is "It's Your Call" where he invites a guest and challenges them to a difficult bidding problem.

His goal: Build Bridge's popularity! As Kai sees it, "The only way that we get the next generation into Bridge is through internet promotion. We just need to show them that Bridge is fun and people will find it!"

If you are interested in supporting Kai on his journey on Bringing Bridge to internet stardom you can follow him on his channel and the ACBL channel
