Name: The Villages July 2025 Quads (Offsite Location)  
Desc: The Villages Chess Club is mentoring two future chess tournament organizers to plan/execute chess tournaments with the intent to have a greater presence in the tri-county area (Lake, Sumter, Marion Counties). Our goal is to increase the quantity of chess tournaments in the area. ********************************************************* QUAD FORMAT: Estimated at 12-15 QUAD sections distribution in descending order of ratings. Lowest section may be converted to SWISS format if needed to accommodate number of players. USCF rating from the Golden Data Base at the time of the tournament is the basis of establishing Quads. A Quad Tournament in chess is a type of tournament format where four players compete in a round-robin style tournament. In a quad tournament, four players are paired up to play against each other in three rounds. Each player plays three games, one against the other in their quad. If there are twelve players in a tournament to play in a Quad format, the 12 players are put in order of their ratings. Then, the top 4 players (1-4) play a round-robin against each other, the next four (5-8) play a round-robin against each other, and the bottom four (9-12) play a round-robin against each other. There will be no “Byes” or withdrawals allowed. Please complete all your Quad games. **************************************************** TIME CONTROL: G/60; d/5 ********************************************* ROUND TIMES: 9:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 2:45 PM, please arrive NLT 9:15AM ************************************************************** ENTRY FEE: $25.00 ********************************************************************** PRIZES: Quad 1 : $90 ; Quad 2 : $80 ; Quad 3-12/15 : $60 to the winner of each Quad.
