Each year, ACBL recognizes the bridge successes of Youth and Junior players (ages 25 and under) and players who win the most points in sectional tournaments. There is also an award category for top point winners in ACBL-sanctioned games at online sites such as Bridge Base Online and OKBridge. Below are the District-wide rankings and points won in 2016 by District 8 players in these categories.
