In part to address Michael Rodrigues' questions about the purpose and operation of an ACBL Unit ...

While nearly every unit has its own traditions and business, at its most basic level an ACBL Unit is formally described in a document called the "Codification" (which used to be the ACBL Handbook).

It's worth skimming, and at least knowing it's there. It's the first place I look when I have a question about ACBL business procedure.

Here's the full Codification: https://www.acbl.org/about-acbl/administration/acbl-codification/

Here's the specific chapter on ACBL Units, outlining the jurisdiction of Units and their relationship to the ACBL: https://web2.acbl.org/codification/CHAPTER3A.pdf

I bet there's a link to some of our local documents online, such as the by-laws. I haven't gone looking for them.

Best regards,
Mojo
