Upcoming Tournaments
D22 players are reminded the Dallas Spring NABC will be held Mar 20-30, 2014. The Riverside Regional will be held at the newly remodeled Riverside Convention Center June 9-15, 2014. The dates were moved because the remodeling was not finished in time for our regular late January/early February dates. In 2015, the Riverside Regional will return to its original time in January/February at the newly remodeled Riverside Convention Center. Please plan to attend.
