District 8 North American Pairs 

November 13, 2010 -- Eagles Club, Riverton IL  

Congratulations to the winners and runners-up in District 8's annual North American Pairs (NAP) finals. The event, conducted in three separate flights, was open to all District 8 members who qualified in club-level NAP games earlier this summer.

The top two pairs in each flight won travel awards to Louisville KY in March 2011 to represent District 8 in the national finals of their respective flights. The third-place pair in each flight also qualified for the national finals, but receives no ACBL travel award.

Overall winners and masterpoint awards are listed below. Included are links to the hand records (afternoon and evening) and the recap sheets from both sessions in each flight. The recaps' board-by-board results are displayed in traveler-style format.
