Sunday Swiss Game Schedule

Cashiers Duplicate Bridge will have Sunday Swiss games on

June 23 July 21 August 18 September 22

Games will begin at 1:30 and we ask everyone to be there at 1:15 so we can start on time.

The game will be "Eight is Enough" as described below.

1. Each 4-person team may add up to NO MORE THAN 8 points for the 4-person team.

Players under 500 masterpoints count as 1 point. (C Player)
Players with 500-1500 masterpoints count as 2 points. (B Player)
Players with over 1500 masterpoints count as 3 points. (A Player)

A team may have LESS THAN 8 points or 8 points exactly, but not more than 8. This means that no team may have more than 2 A players and, if a team has 2 A players, they must be playing with 2 C players.

2. We will play 4 rounds of 6 hands each, time permitting. We must be finished in 4 hours or less, which should be no problem if everyone arrives on time and plays at a good pace.

3. Cost is $3 to enter the Rec Center, which goes to the Center, and $24 per team, if all players are members of the Cashiers Duplicate Bridge club. If your team has non members, those players will be an additional $5 each. If you have an existing membership at the Rec Ctr, your membership will be honored as usual.

4. We need a minimum of 5 teams to hold the game. In order that we know how many to expect for each game, we ask each team to make a reservation and tell us your team members. Please send your reservation request to Pam at pamgutt@gmail.com. Pam will tabulate our number of teams each month to be sure we have enough and will notify your team if we are falling short 48 hours before the game. If you need help in forming a team, Pam will forward those requests for teammates to Joan Braender who will try to help.

Welcome to Cashiers Duplicate Bridge Club

About Us

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 administered by an elected Board of Directors.

We have an OPEN game each Tuesday during the season at 1 PM (please arrive by 12:45) at the Cashiers Recreation Center. We can accommodate 17 tables, and RESERVATIONS ARE NO LONGER NECESSARY.

The club uses Bridgemate scoring terminals and a dealing machine, 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.

Game Stratification Levels

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 Tournament 2023 and 2024

Interclub Bridge Tournament - 2024 and 2025

The 2024 tournament was held on Thursday August 15. The 8 participating clubs were Burlingame, Country Club of Sapphire Valley, Cullasaja, Highlands CC, Highland Falls CC, Mountaintop, Wade Hampton, and Wildcat Cliffs. Highlands CC was an excellent host club, and 2024 marked the 19th year of competition. Next year’s host is scheduled to be Highland Falls CC.

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 was Wade Hampton and winner of the B group was Highlands Falls.

Total victory points of the A and B teams from each club are then added together to decide the overall championship. Highlands CC was first overall with Wildcat Cliffs coming in 2nd. Third place was a tie between Highland Falls and Mountaintop. Each winning team receives a beautiful trophy crafted by Jim Holimon to keep for the following year.

For a schedule of future host clubs, please see Other News in the Index above.
