June Membership Tourney, Signup and Rules!

This month, we will be having our first quad tourney of 2025. Instead of a tournament where many won't be able to make it, we will be hosting a 15|10 quad. There will be 3 quad sections, 1800-2200 rapid rating, 1400-1800 rapid rating, and 1000-1400 rapid rating (peak rating will be used to sort quads). The quads will be a 4 player round-robin, so there will be 3 rounds split across the remainder of June. The winner who comes out on top of their respective quad will win a prize. The prize for each winner of their respective quad will be a 1 month Diamond Membership. If the winner already has a membership, they can choose to gift it to another member.

 
Schedule + Details

 
(Players will be expected to schedule a match in the listed time frames below for their rounds with their opponent on a forum soon to be made. Failure from one side to negotiate will result in a forfeit victory for the opponent. If both players negotiate but simply can not come to a date and time, a draw will be given. Colors will be given out once signups are finalized. Finished games will also be posted on an additional thread). Negotiation MUST occur in the thread to ensure no mistakes. Extensions will only be accepted in certain instances.
