All events will be played at THE MARRIOTT WORLD CENTER, ORLANDO.
Events, dates, times and locations are subject to change.
Please check your Bridge Bulletin or the acbl web site at www.acbl.org for changes.

Strata-Flighted Open Events are divided A/X, (3000+/0-3000);
separate from B/C/D, (1000-2000, 500-1000, 0-500).
Strata breaks for stratified events are: A (2000+), B (750-2000), C (0-750).

The “Side Game Series” was formerly the “Continuous Pairs”. Each side game in each series is a stratified red-point side game with its own overall awards. Entrants are not obligated to play in prior or subsequent sessions. Stratum A section tops will become gold if a player plays in two or more games in the same series. Gold-point series overalls will be based on a player's two best percentage scores in that series.
