A highly prestigious "grass roots" event, the North American Pairs starts at the club level in June, July and August. Club-level qualifications may be earned at any club in any unit in any district. A player may qualify as often as desired and with as many different partners as desired. Unit-level qualifiers are optional and held after Sept. 1 and before the district final, which may be held after the unit final until the third week in January. At the district final, both players must have qualified at the club level and must be members of the parent district. Winners of each flight in each district are reimbursed for airfare and hotel nights to attend the final event at the spring NABC. Second-place pairs receive airfare. Third-place pairs qualify to attend but do not receive reimbursement.
