Grand National, 29





What is the Grand National Cribbage Tournament?  I can't tell you the history, but I can tell you that this year it's the 29th Grand National. Virginia Beach, September 17th-19th, 2010.

Cribbage Folks know that 29 is a number central to the ongoing pursuit of a good game of Cribbage.
29 is the highest point hand possible in a game of Cribbage and the Grand National is a big time tourney.

I've been to 2 Grand Nationals….Atlanta, Ga, 200? and Maine…a state that Cribbage has become Taboo. That GN was probably the last hurrah for Maine Cribbage, and I didn't even know it.

2013. An astute group of Atlanta players have acted on their thought of Atlanta once again hosting the
Grand Nationals. More specifically, GN32 in 2013.

I was new to the ACC and Grass Roots Cribbage when Atlanta hosted its first GN. I wanted to help…
I wanted to plan, but it was my First Grand National too…and I came as a player.

Now we have a chance to bid again….2013. I want in. I want to invite the Cribbage World
 into my hometown…and I want them to have fun.
