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

The reasons for switching to the new system are:

The reasons for switching to the new system are:
- It is far-less labor-intensive & more accurate.
- It will make our new TDs' task less daunting.
- It will give our veteran TDs a chance to play occasionally.
