Note
  1. The formation of the American Bridge Association (ABA) in 1932 was due to racial prejudice and the then common practice of segregation and hence exclusion from membership and competition in the American Contract Bridge League. A group of African American players in the New York area conceived the idea of a national organization to foster and promote duplicate bridge among themselves, leading to the ABA's formation at Buckroe Beach, Virginia. It sponsors annual tournaments held in the spring and summer as benefits for charitable organizations.
