What is a Quad?
Quad tournaments use players' ratings to rank them into groups of 4 players who play a mini-round robin. Each four-player group will play three games (player #1 vs #4 & #2 vs #3). If the last grouping is not a perfect foursome, then that group will be a 3-round mini-swiss tournament of 5 to 7 players. The format benefit is that your foursome is closest to your current rating.
