Liz Muir writes
Originally, in 1937, the NEBA ran an Individual competition, in which every player partnered every other player in the competition. This was quite popular until probably some time in the 70's, when its popularity waned, and that particular competition was cancelled. The Player of the Year award was inaugurated in 1996 (or thereabouts), and as it was an individual award, it was felt to be appropriate to award that trophy to the Player of the Year.
