Marsha May Sternberg Women's BAM

 

 

Questa gara board-a-match č stata per molti anni il solo Campionato Nazionale Femminile americano

Nel 1963 l'evento č stato spostato nei nascenti Spring e nel 1976 la formula č stata cambiata in knockout teams e per 10 anni non si sono avuti Campionati Femminili a Squadre con la formula BAM

Nel 1986 una gara femminile a squadre con formula BAM č stata rispolverata ai Fall NABC per iniziata di Jim Sternberg che ha voluto ricordare sua moglie Marsha May donando questo trofeo alla Federazione

 

 The Sternberg Women's Board-a-Match Teams bridge championship is held at the fall American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) North American Bridge Championship (NABC) and is a four session board-a-match event, two qualifying sessions and two final sessions. The event typically starts on the first Sunday of the NABC and is restricted to female players.
The event was introduced in 1933 and was originally held at the winter NABC (there were only two NABCs - summer and winter). The original trophy was donated by George Coffin. In 1963, it was moved to the spring NABC. In 1976, the board-a-match format was changed to a knock-out format. The board-a-match format was re-introduced in 1986. The event is now held at the fall NABCs.
Dr. Jim Sternberg donated the current trophy in 2001 in memory of his wife, Marsha May Sternberg, who died in 2001 after a six week battle with cancer.
