[edit] History

The event was introduced in 1933 and was originally held at the Winter NABC (there were only two NABCs - Summer and Winter). The trophy was donated by Charles Emmet Coffin. In 1963, the event 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.

Dr. Jim Sternberg donated the current trophy in 2001 in memory of his wife, Marsha Sternberg, who died in 2001 after a six week battle with cancer.
