We had 16 players in 4 quads on February 9th. Ben Kurtz went 3-0 to win the top quad. Yet another 2-way tie in Quad 2, this time with Aidan Cagle and Zayne Harrelson.  Max Murphy and Owen Laird both went 3-0 to win Quads 3 and 4, respectively.  Sophie and Luis representing El Camino del Rio/River Road Elementary did an amazing job in their first tournament handling both notation and clock for the first time.
