The FIRST SATURDAY QUADS

On the First Saturday of Every Month, the Palatka Chess Club hosts
the First Saturday Quads.  

This tournament is held at 521 S 13th Street in the Red Cross/Bridge Club Building at the corner of Hwy20=Crill Ave and 13th Street in Palatka.

All Players are listed from highest to lowest by rating.
The Top 4 play in Quad 1, the next 4 into Quad 2, etc.

This way, you are assured of playing those who are closer to your own
strength and if you're a bit sharper than your current rating,
it's a good way to prove it against similar rating levels.

Overflows roll into the bottom section, where there could 5 or 6 or even 7
players in a small three round swiss.

Entrance Fee is only $ 12
The Winner of Each Quad gets their choice of a Nice Trophy,
or $ 25 in Cash.
In the event of a tie, the prize is money only, which is split.

This monthly event is played at a time control of G/90 
5 Second Time Delay is Permitted
The Event is USCF Rated
