The DCCA Team Quickplay is an annual event that has taken place at various venues throughout the year. This event is for teams of four players with six rounds being played under a Swiss pairings system (based on total game points scored). Digital clocks are used, with each player receiving 10 minutes plus 3 seconds increment per move.

Trophies: All teams compete in one ‘pool’, and three team trophies will be awarded:

  • Overall winner: Thomas Trophy
  • Best team under 7300 total rating: Hodge Trophy
  • Best team under 6200 total rating: Graded Trophy
  • The Individual Performance Trophy will be awarded to the player achieving the best individual score.

Entries: Clubs are strongly encouraged to enter more than one team – there is no limit on entries! Teams from non-Devon clubs are very welcome to participate, although they will not be eligible to win any of the four trophies. Instead, a small prize will be awarded to the highest-placing non-Devon team.
