Emory University Spring Classic Quad

Come and play at the second annual Emory University Spring Classic Quad! This is a USCF rated Quad Tournament, with FREE entry for ALL participants! The Emory University Chess Club puts on these quad tournaments twice a year, once in the fall semester and once in the spring. A quad works by grouping all the participants into groups of 4. Starting with the top 4 rated players, and working all the way down the list. If there is a number of players not divisible by 4, then the bottom 2 sections, which will be anywhere between 5 and 7 players, will be a Swiss section, where pairings in the first round are dependent on rating and pairings in subsequent rounds are dependent on score. Being a quad, there will be 3 rounds, and the time control is game in 60 with a 10 second increment. This time control will also be the case for the possible Swiss section. Round 1 will start 10:00 am, with round 2 starting at 12:45 pm and round 3 starting at 3:30 pm. There will be multiple dining options on campus within walking distance, including food trucks, the Emory dining hall, and the Emory emporium. Free parking will be available at Peavine Parking Deck, at 29 Eagle Row, Atlanta GA, 30322.
