Nationals Prep
We have three final weeks before Grade Nationals (Dec 4th - 6th) The G & T Quads are a great Nationals prep opportunity as it combines slow, thoughtful play along with very close USCF ratings, making for competitive competition.
Quad USCF Ratings On Average:
- Quad 1 - 1900 +
- Quad 2 - 1800 +
- Quad 3 - 1700 +
- Quad 4 - 1600 +
- Quad 5 - 1500 +
- Quad 6 - 1400 +
- Quad 7 - 1300 +
