BEST BEHAVIOUR AT BRIDGE

Asking for explanations and not bidding.

 Do not ask what a bid means unless you are intending to bid. Asking for explanation without bidding could, in certain circumstances, be construed as passing unauthorised information to one‘s partner. If one doesn‘t intend to bid, questions of the opponents, should be made after the auction has concluded.

MICHAEL CODA CUP
 
 

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.
