North American Pairs (NAP) - Conditions of Contest
Club level qualifications are held during June, July and August.
After qualifying at the Club level you will be eligible to play in the Qualifying
Round at the Unit level . B and C players will compete together in a stratified
2 session Unit Qualifying Round where 60% of all pairs in each strata will
qualify to compete in the District Qualifying round. As a special incentive
to compete, Unit 161 is awarding a stipend of $100 to each B and C pair that
qualifies in the Unit Round and then also competes in the District Level
competition. Overall awards are 10% gold for B and 5% gold for C, with the
remainder of the points being red at sectional rating.

per person. Even if you do not win at the District level you may still win
the stipends to attend the Nationals. In the past few years the top Qualifiers
