Advance Entry Sales for the Phoenix NABC

by Bridge Winners Sept. 3

The Bridge Winners team is very excited to announce that we will pilot a program (with the ACBL’s blessing) to sell advance entries to a few national pair events at the Phoenix NABC this Fall. You’ll be able to register yourself and your partner, pay in advance using several different payment options, and then receive a text message and/or email with your table assignment (or seeding number, if that’s your pleasure).

On game day, get an extra 30 minutes of sleep, leave your bridge bucks at home, skip the lines, and go right to your table at game time! Your filled-out entry form, Bridge Winners convention card, and blank scorecards will all be waiting for you at your table.

We haven’t worked out all the details yet (there are a lot of them!), but we’re really excited about this, and will be working hard to create an excellent experience.  As a thank you to our fantastic community, we will waive any advance purchasing fee for our donors.

We plan to launch our advance entry purchasing system at least a month before the start of the Fall Nationals, so you will have plenty of time to purchase your entries on time. No excuses!
