Quad Pairings Change

Beginning on January 3rd, we will be using WIN-TD generated pairings for our Quads, instead of the Crenshaw-Berger table.

Players will still be grouped by rating-order (1-4, 5-8, 9-12, etc.) and the 3rd round will remain "toss for color".

The reasons for switching to the new system are:

1. It is far-less labor-intensive & more accurate.
2. It will make our new TDs' task less daunting.
3. It will give our veteran TDs a chance to play occasionally.

Happy Holidays

The Westfield Chess Club wishes its members and friends the happiest of holidays.

We will be closed on Sunday, December 27th.

Our next tournament will be the G/45 Quads on Sunday, January 3rd, 2016.
