Below are the final standings for our January double-round, quick-rated quads, where the results seen in the cross tables are cumulative for each successive round (so if a player has 1.0 in Rd 1 and 2.0 in Rd 2 that player won both of his/her first two games—1.0 points for each game). The tournament was rated by US Chess on February 9th and the associated rating reports and cross tables may be found here.
