Dallas Bridge Association
About Dallas Bridge Association
Dallas Bridge Association keeps bridge active in the Dallas area with newsletters, tournaments, member communications, and training opportunities that help players stay connected to the game. It also gives newer and advancing players a real place to grow through its Mentor/Mentee Program, while offering unit games with open and 499er sections as attendance allows. For donors, that means supporting the everyday structures that let more people sit down, play well, and keep coming back.
What sets Dallas Bridge Association apart is how much of its work reaches players at different stages. Along with regular tournaments and member communications, it offers a Mentor/Mentee Program for players with fewer than 750 masterpoints, plus open and 499er sections at events when attendance allows.
