A sign that things are slowly getting back to 'normal'! The Australian Bridge Federation (ABF) have announced they will run their GNOT in 2021. (See below for general GNOT information.)

Our club will run two qualifying heats - offering gold masterpoints - on Wednesdays 19 & 26 May 2021, starting at 1pm. We are eligible to send at least two teams to the regional finals in Port Macquarie in/near July 2021.We have a 14 table limit so organise and register your team (up to 5 players) soon. 

The Grand National Open Teams (GNOT) is an Australia-wide event conducted by the ABF.

  • This is the only opportunity for players to earn gold masterpoints at the club level.
  • For this event, Australia is divided into geographical regions that send 60 teams to the National Final .
  • Each Regional Final qualifies 1 or more teams to the National Final. Our region - Mid North Coast, from Forster to Yamba - may send two teams.
  • The National Final is scheduled to run from Friday 26 November to Monday 29 November 2021 (venue to be announced - previously in Tweed Heads).
  • The ABF provides travel grants to teams that qualify for the National Final.
