The Rockwell Mixed Pairs national bridge championship is held at the spring American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) North American Bridge Championship (NABC).
The Rockwell Mixed Pairs is a four-session matchpoint (MP) pairs event with two qualifying and two final sessions. The event typically starts on the Tuesday of the NABC. The event is open, one of the pairs must be male, the other must be female.
The Rockwell Mixed Pairs is a four-session event with two qualifying and two final sessions. Each pair must consist of a male and female partnership. The Rockwell Trophy, donated by Helen Rockwell in 1946, is presented to the winners. It was contested at the Fall NABC until 1985. It moved to the Spring NABC in 1986, where it has remained ever since.
The record-holders in the Rockwell Mixed Pairs are Sidney Silodor, John Crawford who won in 1948 and 1949 with Margaret Wagar and in 1959 with Dorothy Hayden, the first time they had ever played together, and Barry Crane and Kerri Sanborn (then Shuman) with three wins as a partnership.
