For events with strat limits, all players on a pair or team must be below the strat limit for the event, even if the pair or team average is below the limit.

The Monday Evening, Tuesday Afternoon-Evening Knockout Teams is the only knockout team event, a three-session knockout; the rest of the team events are Bracketed Round Robin Teams where everyone plays two sessions of short matches against others in their bracket.

Side Games are part of three groups (Morning, Afternoon and Evening) but can be entered at any time.

The comparison tournament in the figures at the bottom is the October 2023 Leavenworth Regional, where the schedule was a little different; we've matched the events as best we can for comparison.

Our weekend attendance may be affected by the simultaneous Grand National Team events that begin a half-hour earlier each morning, but some players not making the second day may choose to stay and play Regional events.

The 2026 tournament begins Monday Evening with a three-session Bracketed Knockout Teams (continuing Tuesday Afternoon so you can sleep in if you win!), and the Dudley Brown Memorial Pairs, which is the first Evening Side Game.

Bridge continues to recover after the pandemic/lockdown, so if we can manage 60% of the 2018 total, 571 tables, (including those who make the trip to play in the GNT events on the weekend) that would be an excellent attendance and a 38% increase on 2023.
