The annual Ace of Clubs awards recognize the leading masterpoint winners in club-level games. Awards are made in each player category, which is determined by a player's total masterpoint holding at the beginning of 2013.
Below are the top point winners in each category in District 8 and the total masterpoints each player won in club games during calendar year 2013. Congratulations to these active and successful players, and thanks from all of us for your support of local bridge.
