match are then converted to victory
points in accordance with a
predetermined scale.
Von Zedtwitz Award
Named for Waldemar von Zedtwitz, this
Hall of Fame award was established in
1996 to honor living or deceased bridge
players whose contributions to bridge
were through bridge playing talents or in
other key areas of bridge. P. Hal Sims,
one of the giants of the early game of
bridge who was involved in several
highly publicized bridge matches, was
the first recipient of this award.
Von Zedtwitz Gold Cup
The von Zedtwitz Gold Cup is awarded
annually at the Summer NABC for the
Life Master Pairs Championship, one of
the most highly regarded pair events on
the ACBL calendar. It was donated by
Waldemar von Zedtwitz, one of the great
bridge players and personalities of all
time.
Vugraph
A vugraph offers a method of presenting
bridge play to an audience larger than
can be accommodated around a bridge
table. Onsite at the NABCs, the ACBL
conducts the Peter Pender Memorial
Vugraph show to cover the final rounds
of the Vanderbilt, Spingold and
Reisinger Teams Championships.
Vugraph for major bridge events is also
