Youth North American Bridge Championships (YNABC)

The 2018 Youth North American Bridge Championships (YNABC) will be contested in Atlanta from August 2-4. SiVY Bridge is once again offering its sponsorships for youth interested in participating. The program includes mentoring, special training, and financial support to help defray travel costs.

Last year SiVY Bridge sponsored 28 players at the July YNABC event in Toronto. Every SiVY Bridge participant placed in at least one event – in total the group won a total of nearly 500 masterpoints at the tournament. SiVY Bridge players won the both Pairs and Team Championships and the Sportsmanship Award.

Michael Xu participated in his first YNABC last year and had this to say about the experience, “…Till this day, I still shiver and tremble with excitement from the memory of my first YNABC. I can't wait till the next one.” Wow!
