STAC is an abbreviation for a special kind of sectional tournament known as Sectional Tournament at Clubs. It offers sectional rating and is played in a number of clubs in a specific area over a period of several days. The masterpoints awarded in this type of tournament are silver points.

Results of all games are sent to the director-in-charge of the event. Section results are determined by comparing the results of play at individual clubs. Overall pair game awards are determined by comparing the results of all games conducted at a particular session just as if all of the games were played at one site. STAC results are uploaded directly to the ACBL results page. As a result, results are available quickly and updates happen automatically.

The CBF Canada-Wide STAC is played in clubs all across the country and always begins on the 3rd Monday of February.

NEXT CBF STAC – New dates: February 17-23, 2025

The STAC has been postponed by one week, to allow Canadian clubs to participate in a new ACBL event, Stardust Week (February 10 to 16). During Stardust week, the club will award Gold points by organizing a regular session, no extra sanction fees.
