All duplicate clubs in our unit have sanctioned ACBL games with web sites where game results can be viewed on-line. Here's a list of our duplicate ACBL bridge clubs.
Unit 500 of the ACBL (the American Contract Bridge League) is in District
21 (Northern California, U.S.A) which is part of the Western Conference (Districts 17, 21 and 22). Southern Alameda County has duplicate ACBL club games, a South County Sectional in August, local Unit tournaments and many special
events. There are nearby Sectional and Regional tournaments that
you can locate by visiting the District
21's web site or the ACBL web site.
There are weekly duplicate games for players
of all abilities from expert to novice, and bridge
lessons for newcomers.
