The Nail Life Master Open Pairs national bridge championship is held at the fall American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) North American Bridge Championship (NABC). The Nail Life Master Open Pairs is a four session MP pairs event, two qualifying sessions and two final sessions. The event typically starts on the first Friday of the NABC. The event is restricted to players that have achieved a Life Master rating. The event was introduced in 1961 and was originally for male players with a rank of National Master or higher. In 1963, it was restricted in Life Masters. In 1990, it became an open event (female players allowed), but still restricted to Life Masters. The event is named after Bobby Nail.
