North American Pairs (NAP)
Cycle Began in June ♠
By Larry Davis
D16 NAP Coordinator
Players are strongly encouraged to play in NAP games offered at the club-level in June, July and August. You may play in these games as many times as you’d like (even after you’ve earned a qualification to play at the district-level).
Play Anywhere
You may play in any club in the ACBL – even if said club is not in your unit or district. No unit-level qualification is required to advance to the district-level (held January 10-11, 2026 in Austin).
Red Points & Stratifications
NAP games pay very well in masterpoints – half of any points earned are red points. There are four masterpoint strats: 0-750 (NLM), 0-3000, 0-6000 and 6000+. Your strat is dependent upon your masterpoint holding as of the May 7 ACBL monthly determination. If you later “advance” to the next higher level,our strat for NAP purposes remains as it was on May 7.
If you play at the district-level, you may play with any District 16 player in your strat who qualified – it does not have to be with someone with whom you previously played. So, make sure to jump into those club games and qualify to participate.
