| ACBL Instant Matchpoints International Fund Game |
On June 14th 1986 the World Bridge Federation and Epson teamed up to organize the first ever World Wide Simultaneous Instant Matchpoint pairs game, a 24 board contest played all over the world.. Participants from 80 countries played the same hands, at the same time and received a souvenier booklet featuring analysis by the most famous personality in bridge, Omar Sharif. Players loved getting their scores immediately after playing each board, and the analysis booklet provided instructive reading with many tips on bidding and play. By 1993 attendance had grown to 100,000 in 95 countries, a record that still stands.
On September 15 1987 the Golden Anniversary Pairs was the ACBL's inaugural Instant Matchpoints Continent wide game, with expert analyses provided by 11 time North American Champion Richard Pavlicek. The first deal is a well remembered matchpoint shootout.

By Richard Pavlicek
The Golden Anniversary Pairs begins with an exciting deal that should produce a myriad of results. After two passes South will set the tone with his opening — 1♦, 3♦, 4♦, 5♦ or 3NT (gambling) are possibilities. After a 1♦ opening (my choice) the bidding might proceed 1♠, double (negative), 2♣; then 3♦ by South. If West raises clubs, South will compete to 4♦, which goes down one assuming a correct heart guess.
East-West fare all right in clubs (probably 10 tricks) and surprisingly well in spades. Although difficult to reach, 4♠ cannot be defeated if declarer takes the second-round club finesse after drawing trumps; and South must shift to a heart at trick two to prevent an overtrick.
