Special Events 🎉✨
Quad participants may request special events such as Female-only Quads events, 5-Round State Qualifier events, and Team-Head-to-Head events. The tournament director always has discretion whether to run a special event or not. Advanced notice of any special requests increases the odds of running those events!
Female-Only Quads require four or more females who wish to compete in the same quad(s) regardless of ratings. Female-only quads should last 1-2.5 hours each.
5-Round State Qualifier Events require six K-8 students from four different schools who agree to play five rounds. Five round events should last 2-3 hours total.
Team Head-to-Head Events are when participants from 2-6 groups compete head-to-head in a quad or round robin format. For example, 2-6 chess clubs, chess Meetups, or friend groups may wish to compete in a special tournament!
