The Youth North American Bridge Championships (YNABC) were held in Las Vegas in July with over 200 total participants. SiVY Bridge sponsored 24 players ages 7-19 with financial assistance, training, and mentoring support. Five of these players were attending their first YNABC. These players brought home over 250 masterpoints and several scholarships. Most importantly, they brought home wonderful memories and new/rekindled bridge friendships.
