Sylvia Moss won the Margareth Wagar Knock-out Teams 2013 in Atlanta (Summer NABC). Margareth Wagar (1902-1990), was one of the two greatest all time American women, with Helen Sobel, often her partner. We have not enough space, now, to list her victories, just think something and she probably won it. For example, did you think Spingold Knock-out Teams? She won it twice, in 1946 and 1948.
The summer NABC schedules the Knock-out Women Team dedicated to her. In Atlanta there were thirteen registered teams:
