Scottish Cup

This is SBU's oldest and most prestigious trophy. At the inaugural meeting of the Scottish Bridge Union Dr MacDonald announced that the Daily Record had presented a Cup for a national team of four competition. In the first year, 1934, 102 teams entered, rising to 132 in 1937. The War disrupted entries: in 1950 there were just 73 teams, but the numbers grew to 122 in 1979. More recently, as alternative events proliferate, the competition has lost its mass appeal.
