New - Quads Team Recognition!
We are excited to announce a new component of the Quads that will take effect next year. The winning player from each Quad will have their team recognized. Team standings will be kept and season ending team prizes will be incorporated. We hope this adds to the Quads experience and also incorporates a greater level of team spirit among teammates!
