FURTHER INFO:
We try to place individuals with close ratings and in the same grade together. We try to avoid pairing provisional players with those who have permanent ratings. Adjustment may also be made so that individuals from the same school or club do not play each other. The most current listed rating will be used—the one found on the Thursday night before the Quads at the players Tournament History page
AWARDS:
Minimum of one trophy in each quad--four players arranged
by ratings. We try to place individuals with close
ratings
and in the same grade together. We try to avoid pairing provisional players
with those who have permanent
ratings. Adjustment
may also be made so that individuals from same school or club do not play each other
as
long
as ratings are within 100 pts. The most current listed rating will be used. At each
of the tournaments anyone
not winning
a trophy will receive a chess medal.
REMINDERS:Ê
You must arrive before 9:30 to check-in
and play. Anyone arriving after 9:30 will not be placed in a Quad
if there is no legal pairing.
In Quads there are no byes. Meaning
you must play all three games. Anyone who drops out is not portraying
good sportsmenship. They are depriving a player of a game they paid
for. I have the right to ban that player from attending any more of my
events if they do so without letting the Chief TS know . Of course, emergencies occur.
