This Saturday and Sunday, players from four flights: Superflight, and Flights A, B and C will have an opportunity to compete for a trip to the NABC in Washington DC this July! For many years, District 14's competition for this honor was held in Ft. Dodge, Iowa - quite a bit down the road for most Minnesotans. This year, those of us in the Gopher State are fortunate that the playing site is far closer to home: New Brighton, a northern suburb of Minneapolis.
Many years, I and my teammates have competed in this exciting event with a big potential pay-off - once in a while, with thrilling success. If you would like to try your team's skill and fortune this year, all the details about the GNT and concurrent Swiss Team Sectional can be found here.
Last night, Tony Ames and I teamed with Diane and Larry Henson of Minnetonka for a practice match with some newer players. They are planning on competing in Flight C this weekend.
If you want to participate in the ACBL's premier "grass roots" event, compete against your peers from all of District 14, potentially win a subsidized trip to play teams from all over North America - and have loads of fun - then be sure to head to New Brighton this weekend! I look forward to seeing you there!
