Big Fun in the Little City
Reno will host the Spring NABC March 18–28.
Reno is always a popular spot for Spring North American Bridge Championships. Want proof? Reno set the record for Spring NABC attendance with 13,967 tables in 1998. That topped the previous record of 13,808 tables set at the 1989 Spring NABC — also in Reno.
In 2004, Reno will again host the Spring NABC. Thousands of players from around the globe will converge on the “Biggest Little City in the World” March 18–28. Make your plans early to be a part of the action.
Attention new players: the NABCs are the best tournaments you’ll ever attend. There are games for all levels of players, from world champs to total beginners (we’re not kidding — some visitors jump right in after kibitzing a session!).
