Michael Coda Cup
Michael Coda Cup 2025

The 2025 Michael Coda Cup will be contested from Monday 24th to Friday 28th February. This year, like last year, the format is that each club will run its own session on its usual evening from a prescribed set of boards, and the results from clubs taking part each night will be combined. So it is effectively a mini-simultaneous pairs each day that week, enabling players to play at more than one club during the week. Club representatives are asked to inform the Secretary that they will be participating.

This year's charity to benefit from Somerset's Michael Coda Cup, chosen by the SCBA Committee on behalf of the late Sheila Coda, is the Young Carers Development Trust (www.ycdt.org.uk), a charity that tackles the lack of opportunity experienced by many young carers in the West of England due to their caring responsibilities.

February 16th

We are holding two events on this Sunday. The first is the county Championship Pairs event. The top three Somerset pairs in this event will qualify to represent Somerset in the Corwen trophy. We are also running a No Fear event for pairs with an NGS grade of 10 or below. Entry forms for both of these events can be found here.

March 23rd

Club Teams of Eight. The winning team from this event qualifies to represent Somerset in the Garden Cities event. Forming a team of eight can be difficult for clubs. Clubs are allowed to form a single team from one or more clubs to overcome this problem. Entry forms are here.

April 27th

Our final event of the competition year also consists of two parallel events. The first is the Mixed Pairs event, and the second is a 9 High event. Entry forms for the Mixed Pairs are here, and entry forms for the 9 High event are here.

EBU rule changes

There are 28 changes and clarifications. Here are a few that you are most likely to come across:

Opening 2NT. This is no longer needs announcing or alerting

Redoubles: showing a suit - Announce the suit. (eg exit transfers)

2 level openings: Announce. ('Weak' is less then 10, 'intermediate' is up to 12, 'strong, forcing' is most likely your Benji minor openings).

When playing 5 card Majors and a weak club, the 2 ♣  opening should be announced as 'may be 2'
