CYPRESS COMMUNITY CENTER EDUCATION & ENRICHMENT Duplicate-Bridge Duplicate Bridge is called duplicate because the same bridge hand (i.e. arrangement of cards) is duplicated at other tables, in order to allow a fair comparison of playing skill and reduce "luck of the cards." This way, every hand, whether good or bad, is played in competition with others playing the I dentical cards, and the element of skill is heightened while that of chance is reduced.
