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.

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.
