The year has got off to a flying start, with a full return of face-to-face national events. In January and early February, most local congresses have been held online. 

The Summer Festival in Canberra was a great success. Notably, the youth events were finally able to be held after 3 years.
 
The upcoming Gold Coast Congress has been fully booked since last October! Many NSW players will be competing in the GCC: we wish them all good luck.

The battle to select the NSW team for the Australian National Championships in July has commenced, with  the Open Interstate Teams Selection Stage I having recently been completed on RealBridge. Twenty-four pairs qualified to OITS Stage II, which will be held from 27 February to 13 March. In parallel, the ITS Swiss Pairs will also be held on RealBridge. This event is open to all, so join in to have your chance to play in a strong field from across the state! Please enter the ITS Swiss Pairs via MyABF.

The summer season of the NSWBA Online Pairs League is well under way – if you missed out, make sure you get your entry in for the autumn season via MyABF.

The next NSWBA Monday Night Championship is the GNOT Direct Qualifier from 20 March - 24 April, also online on RealBridge. Please enter via MyABF. 

The NSWBA Tournament Calendar now allows you to filter the list of congresses so that you can see which are face-to-face and which are online - the online congresses can be filtered by platform.
