  • Tournament Update from ACBL

    As we have written to you the past few months, the ACBL will be staffing open sectionals and regionals that meet the criteria for the safe return to face-to-face tournaments, including local restrictions, virus positivity rates, vaccination rates and local bridge club activity.

    After running the analysis for tournaments beginning in December 2021, nine (list) have been approved. An additional three (list) will be staffed if face masks are required for all attendees.
    Click here to see the tournaments calendar on our website for the most up-to-date list. It is updated daily, so please check before you go.

    For specific information on safety requirements, please check with the tournament chair, whose contact information will be part of the entry in the tournament calendar.

    All tournaments are requiring that a proof of vaccination be shown. 

    Please note that tournaments not run by ACBL Tournament Directors may still be included on the website. These I/N and downgraded sectionals are generally held at existing bridge clubs and may not be following the Covid guidelines previously published by the ACBL. Please check the tournament flier and/or contact the Tournament Chairperson for details.

    Thank you for continuing to support the ACBL.
