The Fifth Friday Pairs tournaments - an outgrowth of the S.S. Finland game, a worldwide pairs event held in every month that has five Fridays, to promote worldwide harmony and cooperation among bridge players. These special games pioneered internet-aided matchpointing across the field, a format that will be adopted by the WBF's worldwide pairs game in years to come. We participate in the Worldwide Pairs, International Fund games, Instant Matchpoint games, and ACBL-wide charity games whenever our schedule permits. If you are going to be part of a group coming to our neck of the woods, drop us a line and we'll try to set up an extra game while you're here.

Dates are, of course, subject to change.
Anchorage's Termination Dust Sectional is traditionally the first weekend in October, coinciding roughly with the first snow of the season. This year it is a bit earlier than usual, 19-23 September. The Western Conference STaC in December has been available to clubs in District 19 in recent years, and we play in it when we can. The Fall Ferry Sectional is played aboard an Alaska Marine Highway System ferry during a scenic round trip from Ketchikan to Skagway each fall. The Cabin fever sectional is held in Anchorage usually the first weekend of February each year.
