The NVBA Unit Game

The game starts promptly at 7:00 and typically consists of an open section and (attendance permitting) a separate 99er section.

Entry Fee
The regular unit game entry fee is $16. A discounted fee of $9 applies for players with more than 5 and fewer than 20 masterpoints, juniors (under age 26), and full-time students. Newcomers with under 5 masterpoints pay only $2.
The NVBA is cashless. Please bring your credit card.
If possible, please preregister using RSVP Bridge. If you've never used RSVP Bridge before, start with these instructions. After your first time, you can just log in at the RSVP Bridge home page. Preregistering also gives you the option to pay online in advance.
Need a partner?
The unit game does not guarantee you one, but the partnership chairs will do their best to
match you. Please contact them in advance rather than arriving
on the night and hoping. They are also who to speak to if you would like to volunteer to
be a partner for someone else.
