Interested in competing against your District 14 peers the first weekend in May for GNT? Excited to hear about new opportunities for teams in Flights B and C?
Then please read this message from District 14 GNT coordinator Mike Cassel.
Tony Ames and I are willing to help pairs in any flight find teammates to compete in Des Moines!
Alert
The D14 GNT District finals in Des Moines are just 2 weekends away. If we have at least eight teams in Flights B and C we will, for the first time ever, be eligible to send two teams to the National Finals in Las Vegas.
To encourage greater participation in Flight B the District 14 Executive Committee is allowing us to offer a 50% rebate of the Saturday entry fee to teams who have no member over 1500 masterpoints (as of August 6, 2018 run).
Instead of $120, the Flight B team entry fee for these teams on Saturday will be $60. This fee, based on a 4-person team, $7.50/pp/session, is a great opportunity to compete in the Saturday Swiss Team event. The top four VP totals on Saturday will play 28 board KOs in the semifinal and final KO on Sunday.
We hope to see you in Des Moines, IA on May 4 and 5 for the Grand National Teams finals. The D14 BOD will extend an invitation to the NABC finals for the second place teams in Flight B & C at their board meeting in Bloomington in May. The amount of travel subsidy, if any, to the second place teams will be decided at that time. As the D14 GNT Coordinator I will be recommending $1,000 per team which will cover airfare to and from the summer NABC in Las Vegas.
Attached are the revised contest conditions and flyer. There is a link at http://web2.acbl.org/Tournaments/Ads/2019/05/1905614.pdf to the flyer as well. D14 GNT conditions of contest
