  • The First World Championships for Teams 1937
    The First World Championships for Teams 1937 The origin of tournament Bridge in Europe. Previous to the year 1932, only a very few and comparatively unimportant International Tournaments and Matches were held, and these were mostly of a private nature. It was not until after the foundation of the International Bridge League in June, 1932, that international relations were systematically regulated. We may in the first instance refer to those matches in London, Paris and Vienna, in which Ely Culbertson's team, famous in its day, took the leading part. The matches played in England 1933 and 1934 were rounds for the Schwab Trophy, and were won hands down by the Americans. It must, however, be pointed out that, with the exception of Colonel Beasley's team, the English teams were very weak. Colonel Buller's team especially was wholly lacking in attacking power, so that there was hardly any question of a serious contest. In Paris, Culbertson's team had to be content with a draw. The first European tournament was organized by the Dutch Bridge Union was held in Holland 1932. The competing teams were Austria, Belgium, Germany, England, Holland and Norway. The result was: Austria first, Holland second and Norway Third. The first Annual Tournament of the IBL was held in London 1933.The competing teams were Austria, Belgium, Denmark, England, Holland, and Norway. The result was: Austria first, Holland second and Norway third. The second Annual Tournament was held in Vienna 1934. The competing teams were Austria, Belgium, Denmark, England, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Yugoslavia.
