Welcome to the Cashiers Duplicate Bridge Club (CDBC) website. The CDBC is a member-owned club fully sanctioned by the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL). It is a friendly game where all players are welcomed. The club was started around 1990 as a seasonal game with the able leadership of Jean and Ed Whitby. Cashiers Duplicate Bridge Club is incorporated as a non-profit organization to promote bridge games for members and guests.  The Club is adminisered by an elected Board of Directors. 

We normally have an OPEN game and a 299 game each Tuesday during the season at 1 PM (please arrive by 12:45) at the Cashiers Recreation Center. We can usually accommodate 24 tables, and RESERVATIONS ARE NO LONGER NECESSARY.  

The club uses Bridgemate scoring terminals and we were able to purchase a dealing machine at the beginning of the 2014 season, so all games feature pre-dealt boards and hand records. Our goal is to have results posted on this website before our players return to their homes.

Cashiers is a lovely unincorporated municipality situated in the mountains of Southwestern North Carolina.  It is a destination vacation place for many who enjoy the simple life of Cashiers and the many activities it has to offer. It has cool summers, wonderful seasons, and superb places to eat. However, its main asset is the good people who come to Cashiers on vacation or that have homes here.
 

Our game generally uses the following stratification levels (But may be modified at the discretion of the Director)

• C Players - 0 to 500 MPs
• B Players - 500 to 2000 MPs
• A Players - 2000 and above

Interclub Bridge Tournament - 2022-2023

The 2023 tournament will be held on Thursday August 10.  The 8 participating clubs are scheduled to be Cullasaja CC, Highlands CC, Highland Falls CC, CC of Sapphire Valley, Burlingame CC, Wade Hampton GC, Wildcat Cliffs CC and Mountaintop CC. Tricia Muniz will co-ordinate for the host club.  

After a two-year hold for COVID, the Interclub Bridge tournament continued in 2022 marking the 17th year of competition. Burlingame hosted the 2022 event.

In this format, each club supplies two four-person teams for the competition – an A level team and a B level team based on Master points.  Each A team plays a six-board match against each other club’s A team for a total of seven rounds while the B group does the same.

Winner of the A group in 2022 was Highlands CC and winner of the B group was Wade Hampton.

Total victory points of the two teams from each club are added together to decide the overall championship.  In 2022, Highlands won the competition, with Wade Hampton coming in 2^nd, and CC of Sapphire Valley 3^rd.  Each winning team receives a beautiful trophy crafted by Jim Holimon to keep for the following year when the trophy is awarded to that year's winner.
