Current ACBL Masterpoint Rules

Members whose ACBL memberships lapse are classified as "inactive" and do not receive monthly masterpoint confirmation notices or the monthly Bridge Bulletin and may not serve on unit or district boards.

An inactive member may reinstate his or her membership by paying only the current dues. There is no additional charge for membership reinstatement, nor must the member pay back dues. Such reinstatement includes reinstatement of the masterpoint record as it was when the membership lapsed.

A former member who has not paid dues for over 90 days and has become a non-member is entitled to pay dues that were due and owing for whatever period of time he/she had non-member status (this payment may be for only those years in which the non-member won points and for which the non-member wishes to pay). All masterpoints earned during the non-member period for which payment is received shall be recorded to the extent possible.

Contact membership@acbl.org for more information.
