Charity Optional

If clubs wish to hold Charity Games, the first and every alternate game must be for the benefit of the ACBL or CBF charity foundations as has been the case in the past. Charity funds in the United States now are distributed by the district boards. Districts receiving the funds in 2008 are 12, 15, 18, 19, 22 and 25. Check with your district to learn the designees of these funds. The CBF Charitable Fund decides grant recipients from money raised in Canada.

Do you know all the answers? Are you sure? Welcome to Ruling the Game, our latest online learning course. While designed particularly for club directors to polish their skills, the course also will benefit players looking for a better understanding of common rulings. Click here for more information
