History
The Wagar Women’s Knockout Teams is a competition for teams of four to six females that is scored by IMPs with Swiss qualifying.
Until 1976 there was only one "National" Women's Team championship — and that was a board-a-match event.
The winners have their names inscribed on the Wagar Trophy, which honors one of the all-time great players. Margaret Wagar (1902-1990), inducted into the ACBL Bridge Hall of Fame in 1999, became Life Master #37 in 1943, the fifth woman to earn the rank. She and Kay Rhodes share one of the most remarkable achievements in ACBL history --- they won the Women’s Pairs four consecutive years: 1955, 1956, 1957 and 1958.
