All of the methods discussed on this page are "right place" methods. Any time a place is made—two consecutive blows in the same position in the row—it is a handstroke followed by a backstroke, or "hand to back". (Places that are made back to hand are called "wrong places".) This is achieved by having all pairs of bells cross every backstroke-to-handstroke change.
Double Court Bob Minor
While the treble hunts up or down, places are made on either side of the treble. Effectively, the hunting only takes place on four bells. The pair of bells outside the group with the treble dodges.
At the half lead and lead end (while the treble lies at the back and leads), both inside pairs cross.
The bell that makes 4ths while the treble hunts 2–3 passes the treble and makes 3rds while the treble hunts 4–5. This is called "court places" around the treble. The 3rd place bell does this in the first half of the lead while 5th place bell does it in reverse in the second half of the lead
Double Norwich Court Bob Major
Double Norwich is an expansion of Double Court to Major. The treble now takes three whole pulls to hunt from front to back, so there are three sets of hunting on four, with two pairs of bells dodging each time.
Cambridge Surprise Major
In Cambridge the treble is treble-bob hunting rather than plain hunting, but the whole pulls in which the treble hunts have the same structure as in Double Court/Double Norwich.
While the treble dodges, places are made on either side of it. The overall effect of this is that when the treble dodges, most other bells hunt. There is one exception, when the treble is dodging in 5–6 (up or down). Ringers historically prefer methods where the penultimate place is not made above the treble, so instead of making 7ths above the treble dodge, there is a 7–8 dodge as well. This is what gives rise to the double dodges at the back in all stages of Cambridge.
The court places of Double Court and Double Norwich are expanded with a dodge with the treble in the center, and places while the treble dodges before and after the places while the treble is hunting. This entire sequence (usually also with dodges at the beginning and end) is called Cambridge places.
Cambridge Surprise Maximus
Just for fun, here's Cambridge Surprise Maximus with all the places around the treble highlighted.
Cambridge Surprise Minor
Because of the no-penultimate-place-over-treble rule, this pattern is a bit less visible on only six bells.
Yorkshire Surprise Major
Yorkshire is Cambridge above the treble, meaning places are made above the treble's dodging and hunting just as in Cambridge. Below the treble is also Cambridge, but with a twist—2nds and 5ths place bells act as a sort of second treble, and the others ring Cambridge Surprise Minor (i.e. one stage lower) as if the second treble were "the" treble.
