I think pigmented points were created in the 70's. First red and gold to encourage regional participation, later silver for sectionals, and a few years ago they added platinum for NABC+ events.


I think that silver is more recent. When I became a life master in 1994 or 1995, silver points were fairly new.

Back then it took me four years to become a life master. That must seem like a ludicrously long time now!

They were already around in 1989, but my recollection is they were quite new then.

Yes, so when I started playing duplicate they were new.
