Power Ratings
Click Here
Everyone has good days and bad days. But everyone has an average level of play. When I find Power Ratings for everyone player that I have data for, about 166,000 players, I prove they are correct by using this formula. Only players who meet the minimum requirements are considered rated and can be found in the Power Rating leader tables. You need 11 games with rated partners other than your favorite partner, (the rated partner you have the most games with).

New NABC On-Line Partnership Desk is Up and Running!
One of the ACBL's web programming gurus has created an alternative to replace Hipard’s on-line partnership desk. It is in a different format than Hipard's, but, we hope you will find it to be just as user friendly. To begin using the new on-line partnership desk, you will need to first register, by creating a username and password, as you did before. Once logged in, you will choose the masterpoint range and post the event(s) in which you need a partner. After you register, you can also look through those that have already posted. Please click Here to go directly to the new on-line partnership desk.
