The club’s experiment with a one day Quad format event was a big success, with 20 players taking part in the inaugural Dad’s Day Quads, held June 18. As is typical, the tightly packed rating groups led to many tight games that were fought to the wire — Indeed, the final game ended with four seconds on Michael Cambareri’s clock when Dave Rowles flagged!
Ryan Ackerman won the first quad with a 3.0 score. Jeremy Burnett (2.5) won the second quad, while Dave Griffin won the third quad with the same score. Ben Shedlock in the fourth quad and Collin Cremers in the fifth quad also both finished with perfect 3.0 scores. Congratulations to all of the winners!!

This was the first event played at The Hive on East Sprague. The venue is lovely and I recommend folks consider checking out a room with their library card to play casual games.
