The events will state what it takes to move forward:

From the two types of event regulations I looked at, players scoring 4.5 move forward. If no one has that, players scoring 4 move forward.
There are different rules for prizes.
Thank you both for your responses. I want to run a friendly quad with myself, two nephews, and the boyfriend of one of my nieces. I'm going to pay for a trophy for the winner and I was wondering how the USCF breaks ties in their correspondence quads to determine first place. I contacted them and they told there are no tiebreakers for such quads, so I guess if there's a tie for first, I'll just have to spring for two trophies! 🤣🤣🤣
Does anyone know what the tiebreaker is for a quad in which all four players play two games against each opponent? It doesn't seem like tiebreakers for Swiss system tournaments would work because the numbers would all work out the same. Yes, this is the type of correspondence quad that the USCF runs, but I can't find anything about their tiebreaker. Is there any or do you just have co-champs? Thank you in advance to all responders. 👍
