Spring NABC - Vanderbilt Cup |
La Vanderbilt Cup fu disputata per la prima volta nel 1928 offerta da Harold Sterling Vanderbilt, che poi ebbe modo di vincerla due volte nel 1932 e nel 1940, e che volle istituire per essa uno speciale fondo di 100.000$ ancor oggi amministrato dalla ACBL. Fino al 1957 la Vanderbilt Cup fu disputata a New York come un Campionato separato, ma dal 1958 iniziò a far parte dei tre Campionati ufficiali Nord Americani, in particolare di quello primaverile ("Spring - North American Bridge Championships"). Il recordman della Coppa è Howard Schenken che l'ha vinta ben 10 volte. Alcune altre curiosità legate alla sua storia riguardano la longevità di Oswald Jacoby che la vinse la prima volta nel 1931 e l'ultima nel 1965 o quella di B. Jay Becker che vinse la prima nel 1944 e l'ultima nel 1981, il fatto che Oswald e Jim Jacoby, insieme a B. Jay e Michael Becker, ai francesi Michel e Thomas Bessis e ai danesi Dennis e Morten Bilde ad averla vinta in coppia padre-figlio e che Edith Frielich e Billy Seamon sono gli unici ad averla vinta come coppia sorella-fratello. La Vanderbilt, assieme al Grand National Open Teams, alla Reisinger ed alla Spingold, è uno dei 4 eventi del Grande Slam |
The Vanderbilt is the premier event of the Spring NABC. The history of the contest stretches back to 1928 when the man who invented contract bridge, Harold S. Vanderbilt, put the trophy bearing his name into play The Vanderbilt Trophy for the Vanderbilt Knockout Teams was donated in 1928 by Harold S. Vanderbilt, who won the event in 1932 and 1940 The Vanderbilt was contested annually in New York —- as a separate championship —- until 1958 when it became part of the Spring North American Championships Vanderbilt winners receive replicas of the trophy —- a practice initiated by Vanderbilt from the first running of the event and perpetuated by a $100,000 trust fund administered by ACBL under the terms of Vanderbilt’s will On display at ACBL Headquarters in Memphis are the Vanderbilt Trophy, as well as replicas donated by the families of Caroline Taylor, who won the Vanderbilt in 1928, and Helen Sobel Smith, a Vanderbilt winner in 1944 and 1945 |
