District 16

District 16

District 16, most of Texas and all of Mexico, is one of 25 geographically defined districts of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL), a membership organization whose mission is to promote, grow, and sustain the game of bridge. The 25 districts are being combined into 13 regions for governance purposes and representation on the ACBL Board of Directors. This process will be finalized by 2024. The districts will no longer be individually represented on the ACBL Board of Directors. District 16 is now defined as Region 9 for this purpose and the region’s boundaries have been combined with District 15 which makes it home to more than 9300 of the approximate 129,000 active members of ACBL. Active member is defined as including active unpaid Life Master membership, but excludes inactive unpaid LMs.
