District 8 North American Pairs  ♠

November 10, 2012 -- Eagles Club, Springfield 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 St. Louis in March 2013 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 final scores 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. The recaps also include the masterpoint awards.
