We introduced the Monthly Quads to give children an opportunity to have a competitive play session where they can practice what they've been taught, get familar with US Chess tournament conditions, rules and regulations and prepare them to become future champions. Also, it serves as an avenue for them to play competitive chess between our Scholastic Tournaments and a chance to boost their rating.
The Monthly Quads is a 4-player, all-play-all, 3 round tournament that is held every 3rd Saturday of every month at 4pm at our school, except for January and April when we have Scholastic Tournaments. In February, the tournament is moved to the 2nd weeekend due to the holiday break. 4 kids of similar rating range form a quad and as such we can have as many quads as possible. Players unrated to 1400 can register.
A confirmation will be sent to participants once a quad is formed or latest by 9 pm 2 days before the tournament. This confirmation is necessary as we need to be sure we have 4 kids of the same rating range to play in a Quad.
Unlike our scholastic tournament, we cannot have a Quad tournament if any of the kids does not show up and as such, please kindly inform us ASAP if anything changes.
