The Grand National Open Teams (GNOT) is an Australia-wide event conducted by the Australian Bridge Federation (ABF).
It is the only opportunity for players to earn Gold Masterpoints in their local club.
- Australia is divided into regions on a geographical basis.
- Clubs hold heats to qualify teams to a final within their region.
- Each Regional Final qualifies one or more teams to the online National Qualifying Final.
- Teams from the National Qualifying Final play in the National Final, and country teams play in the Country Final.
The ABF has appointed Bridge NSW as the organising body for all regions in NSW.
Bridge NSW will select 22 teams to the Online National Qualifying Final.
Seven of these will come from the Sydney Metropolitan region, the remaining teams from elsewhere in NSW.
Bridge NSW appoints a Metropolitan GNOT Organiser, a Country GNOT Organiser and a team of Regional Organisers who are responsible for conducting the GNOT in NSW. Consult the relevant pages below for further details:
