| Waterworth Cup |
|
The Waterworth Cup is the County's annual pairs championship.
This year's event will be held on BBO on Friday 16th January 2026, starting at 17.30.
It is intended that the event will be run as an all-play-all Howell competition of around 36-39 boards using standard pairs scoring with a mid-session break of 20 minutes & no robots allowed! The precise format will be determined by the number of entries received and the limitations of BBO.
Full details and the online registration form to enter can be found on the county website:-
https://www.bridgewebs.com/merseysidecheshire/
As always, green points are awarded to the top half of the field. The top three eligible pairs also get the chance to represent the county in the national pairs championship for the Corwen Trophy in May.

| Rule of the Day: Opening Lead Faced Too Early |
Summary: If a defender faces the opening lead before the auction ends, special action is required.
When the opening leader places a card face up before the auction has formally ended, the Director will normally cancel that lead and declare the card a major penalty card. The partner of the offender may be required to pass when it becomes their turn to call. After correction, the lead will be made in proper order by the correct player.
