Grand National Teams Note to Unit Presidents
Grand National Teams Note to Club Managers 15 Nov 2009

Grand National Teams Note to Club Managers: Try running a GNT Club Qualifying Game using a BAM movement when the number of teams doesn't warrant a regular Swiss Team pairing (less than 12 teams). Teams play the same hands as in a matchpoint event (if hands are preduplicated with hand records all the better) using a BAM movment. Tony Ames (ynotsema@aol.com) has meticulously transcribed the ACBLScore instructions to run this kind of game.
