The Annual Compton Cup 2026 was held in Wellington North on 6 March 2026. The format used was 1 game to 21 points, with no setting, meaning that if the score reached 20-all, play continued until a pair achieved a 2-point advantage. Badminton Wellington (BW) was involved in one of the longest matches of the night against BHV, with a final score of 26–24.
​
This event is designed to bring together Seniors, Masters, Veterans, and Board/Staff members—encouraging connection within the association as well as fostering relationships with players from other associations. It was great to see a mix of familiar and new faces, and the night delivered plenty of intense and competitive matches, finishing off with pizzas and beverages provided by WNBA.
​
Final placings were determined by the total number of games won across the night. BW placed 2nd overall, finishing just 1 point ahead of BHV and behind WNBA.​​​
