Quad Paws #1

Welcome To Washbear Chess Club!

Quad Paws are the WCC take on a "Quads" round robin format.

Players will be sorted by rating then divided into four-player round robin sections. Each player will play one game with the other three players in their section.

If we have 1-3 extra players, the lowest quad plus extras will combine for a 3-round Swiss to allow everyone to play.
