 Spring NABC  -  Jacoby Trophy

 

  Il Jacoby Trophy è una competizione a squadre che dal 1990 ha acquisito la formula dell'Open Swiss Teams che si svolge in 4 turni di gara, due di qualificazione e due di finale

Alla competizione che è inserita nei Campionati Nord Americani Primaverili partecipano squadre americane, internazionali e transnazionali tra le più forti del mondo

Il Trofeo è stato organizzato a partire dal 1982 in memoria di Oswald e Jim Jacoby, la prima coppia di bridge formata da padre e figlio che abbia vinto un Campionato ACBL e l'unica  ad aver avuto l'onore di essere accolta nella Hall of Fame

  The Open Swiss Teams begin play today with the Jacoby Trophy going to the winners. This is a foursession event with two qualifying sessions and two final sessions

The trophy is named for Oswald and Jim Jacoby — one of the premier father-son pairs in ACBL history, the first father-son to win a national championship together and the first father-son to be elected to the ACBL Bridge Hall of Fame

He and son Jim are the co-authors of Jacoby Transfer Bids, Jacoby 2NT and other bidding ideas. Together, they won the Reisinger in 1955 — when Jim was 22 — and the Vanderbilt in 1965
