"Masterpoints are the exclusive currency of the ACBL as the measure of achievement in duplicate bridge competition. Masterpoints are awarded in six “color” categories, and are essential to rank advancement. The ACBL has 16 player ranks that require a specific number and color of masterpoints." https://www.acbl.org/masterpoints/

Let Sherry Kinkopf know (skinkopf@yahoo.com) when you go up in rank and you send in a story so we can link it here. District 10 President, Larry Sealy, will send you an email and ask you to send in a picture and your story.

The late Janet B. Slay, NABC Master

Just before Janet passed away in June 2023, she had attended an NLM Regional tournament in Gulfport with friends Beth Davis, Denise Weeks, Val Ramsey, and Sherry Kinkopf. Janet played very well all three days earning more red and gold points for the weekend. Janet would joke that she would never make life-master and didn't pursue it, but we all know she had that wonderfully sneaky, competitive streak in her. I can only wish she knew that she got one step closer to a life master through ACBL, but in our books, she was the ultimate bridge master. We miss her dearly.
