Mini-Spingold
Mini-Spingold national bridge championships are held at the summer American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) North American Bridge Championship (NABC). They were introduced in 2001 and are held at the same time as the main Spingold knockout team championship.

This event is restricted to those with less than 5,000 masterpoints. As of 2017, the masterpoint limit has been raised to 6000.
This event is restricted to those with less than 1,500 masterpoints. In 2017, the masterpoint limit was raised to 2,500 masterpoints. In 2025, the masterpoint limit was raised to 3,000 masterpoints.
