With the colder weather and shorter days comes Winter Wonderland, an ACBL festive season treat. This regionally rated tournament has gold masterpoints® up for grabs!
Stock up on your favorite bridge playing snacks and join us for four days of events. With stratified two-session and single-session events, there will be something for players of all levels. This event will take place on BBO from December 17 to December 20.
As a holiday bonus if you play in three sessions you'll get the fourth session free! The ACBL will refund every fourth session entry fee (e.g. fourth session, eighth session and so on). This will appear back in your Bridge Base Online account the following week. You can earn this reward in any combination of one and two-session events.

Frequently Asked Questions (PDF)
Cannot find schedule of the Gold events. Is this BBO only or are Virtual Clubs also doing the gold sessions?
Will all pairs play all other pairs in a section or will "luck of the draw" have an outsized influence on who plays whom and with which hands? This happened in the first Regional this year and is prima facia unfair.
If I play two of two-sessions for $60, do I get refund of $15?
Yes! $15 will be refunded to your BB$ account
Will I be able to find P at P desk?
