What is a Quad?
Quad chess tournaments involve a group of four chess players of similar abilities playing individual games of chess against each of the other three players. Every player competes in a total of three games, and the player that wins the most games is named the overall winner. The set of four chess players is referred to as a Quad.
Female chess team players in middle and high school are invited to volunteer as coaches, floor and back-room tournament directors, and assist in setting up and cleaning up after the tournament. Contact mccl.director@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer.
