American Cribbage
Congress
The American Cribbage Congress, established in 1980, is a non-profit organization dedicated
to making the game of cribbage fun and fair for people of all ages.
To this end, the
Congress sponsors over 150 sanctioned tournaments a year through out North
America. Winners of these tournaments can earn thousands of dollars, with the
prestigious JPW/ACC Open (Reno, Nevada) winner taking home over $10,000.
The ACC also awards
$100 for every 29-hand earned in sanctioned play as well as certificates for
all 28-hands.
A standardized rules
and scoring system has been established with players earning points for their
performances though out the season. The ACC season runs from August 1 to July
31. The player who earns the most points in a season is crowned as the National
Champion. The top ten in points in each region are named to ACC All-American
team.
Statistics are
maintained each year and lifetime awards are also presented. Anyone earning
2,000 lifetime points is honored as a Master player;
4,000 points earns Grand Master and 6,000 are needed for Life Master status.
The ACC also has
local Grass Roots
clubs that meet in small and large towns across the country each week. Players
range in ages from as young as single digits to as old as triple digits! The
camaraderie of our members is outstanding.
In addition to the
tournaments, ACC members also receive a monthly magazine, Cribbage World that keeps members
in touch with what's going in the world of cribbage. Included are recaps of
tournaments around the country, schedules and point standings as well as
interesting stats and asides.
The ACC has an
Internet Cribbage Tournament program. Individuals from around the world play
cribbage on the Internet several times a week.
So if you're looking
for somewhere to play cribbage, you've come to the right place. The ACC is the
home of great cribbage!
