What is a Quad?
A Quad Tournament in chess is a type of tournament format where four players compete in a round-robin style tournament. After all players have entered, they are ordered from highest to lowest rating. Unrated players are usually placed at the low end. The top four players are placed into their own section (a “quad”), then the next four highest rated in the next quad, and so on down the list. The players in each quad play round robin, one game against each of the other players in their section, for a total of three games each. If there is not an even multiple of four players, the lowest section will have the few extra players and play a three round Swiss tournament rather than a round robin. The quad format results in players of the most similar playing strengths being paired together for all three rounds.
