Dear District Presidents, Unit Presidents and Tournament Chairs,<br>
<br>
As we wrote to you last month, the ACBL will be staffing open sectionals and regionals that meet the criteria for the safe return to face-to-face tournaments, including local restrictions, virus positivity rates, vaccination rates and local bridge club activity. <a href="https://acbl.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0a09fd687ebd2b74a40bba3c4&id=6cf16ffd10&e=70fa6a488a" style="color:#4eb4c2;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Click here</a> to see the most up-to-date protocol policy, which was announced on September 3, 2021.<br>
<br>
After running the analysis for tournaments beginning in October 2021, four tournaments (<a href="https://acbl.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0a09fd687ebd2b74a40bba3c4&id=4f6e8e60e3&e=70fa6a488a" style="color:#4eb4c2;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">list</a>) have met the four major criteria and will be staffed. An additional nine tournaments (<a href="https://acbl.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0a09fd687ebd2b74a40bba3c4&id=11eb4d8abc&e=70fa6a488a" style="color:#4eb4c2;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">list</a>) are being considered. Those nine tournaments can either choose to be canceled by the ACBL or voluntarily require masks for all attendees.<br>
<br>
<b>If you have planned an open sectional or regional to begin in October, a member of the Tournaments Team will reach out to the tournament chairperson regarding its status. </b><br>
<br>
We will continue to closely monitor the situation and will communicate a decision regarding November tournaments by October 15, 2021.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and all that you have done, and continue to do, for the game of bridge.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Greg Coles<br>
Director of Operations<br>
September 14, 2021<br>
