This is a new EBU event that will take place online on 31st May 2025. Somerset can enter up to three pairs for this event, which is open to all Somerset registered players below NGS 10 on 1st January 2025. The county will pay the entry fees for those three pairs.
Qualification will be based on performance in one of the three pairs events that Somerset is holding before the end of April – the Championship Pairs on 16th February, and the Mixed Pairs and No Fear Pairs on 27th April. Pairs will have their scores adjusted by the overall strength of the event in which they compete, so that they can choose which of the two events to enter. Pairs who enter both events will have their qualification based on the higher of the two scores that they record.
If you are uncertain as to whether you and your partner meet the entry criteria, please send an email to scbaselectors@gmail.com. There are over 500 players in Somerset who do meet the criteria, and we cannot publish a list with those names on.

| 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. Winning pairs will qualify for a final on Realbridge. 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.
We have 18 clubs participating this year -
Monday - Frome, Coxley, Crewkerne, Langport
Tuesday - Burnham, Cossington, Minehead
Wednesday - Backwell, Clevedon & Portishead, Cheddar & Wedmore
Thursday - Nailsea, Castle Cary, Wells City, Wemdon, Street
Friday - Clevedon & Portishead, Taunton, Winscombe
