American Bridge Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Bridge Association (ABA) is a bridge organization in North America.
The ABA was formed in 1932 by black tennis players at Buckroe Beach, Virginia. At the time, blacks were excluded from most bridge events.
In 1967, the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) removed the final obstacle to black membership.
The ABA remains a predominantly, but not exclusively, black organization. It holds two national tournaments each year.
The ABA has its own masterpoints system. This is similar but different from the ACBL masterpoints system.
