Spread the Word
Of the 25 million American adults who know how to play bridge fewer than 5 million are familiar with the ACBL! Spread the word to non-member players in your community that supporting the ACBL means supporting the future of bridge. More results from the first ACBL nationwide bridge survey are posted online. Read the findings and view our press release.
Advertising Does Help!
From Nancy Smalley in Beaumont TX: “I’ve given bridge lessons for years and never advertised before...I’ve had between two and four tables of beginners for the classes. This time, after placing the ad in the newspaper, attendance at the first lesson was six tables…Advertising does help!” And we’ll help fund your ads through the Cooperative Advertising Program.
Is Your Club Listed?
When your club is sanctioned for an ACBL-wide event, it will be listed
in our new directory of Participating Clubs. Next up is the popular Instant Matchpoint Game with a gold point for
section tops on Wednesday, Sept. 14. Sanction your game now!
Pre-register for NABC Courses
Pre-registration is required for our Atlanta NABC education programs so we can better prepare for these courses, including the TAP and Club Director Update Course. View all Education Programs and registration deadlines. Coming soon: an online course for beginning ACBLscore!
Conventional Wisdom
The Bridge Bulletin’s Conventional Wisdom feature now is online. The series solves the mysteries of filling out the convention card line by line and box by box — great for your newer players.
