## About

The Pleasanton Quads is a chess tournament for students in grades K–12. Players are placed in groups of four by rating, or by grade if they have no rating, and play three rounds only against others in their group. The winner of each group receives a trophy and everyone else gets a participation medal. All players must be USCF members, and boards, sets and clocks are provided, so kids only need to bring their game.
