Fishbein Trophy


The Fishbein Trophy is awarded to the player who wins the greatest number of masterpoints at the summer American Contract Bridge League North American Bridge Championship.

History

The Fishbein Trophy was donated by the ACBL in memory of Sally Fishbein and in recognition of the untiring efforts of Harry Fishbein, who served as ACBL Treasurer and refused to accept the customary compensation.
