Lurie and his team of six placed first in the Truscott/USPC Senior Swiss Teams event, one of 19 championship-level events held at the tournament. This is Lurie’s first national title.

The NABCs are held three times a year across the U.S. and Canada to bring together players of all skill levels, from beginner to advanced, with opportunities for everyone to play daily from 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. The 2015 Fall NABCs will be held in Denver, Colo., from Nov. 26 to Dec. 6.
