Forgive me . This scope isn't as popular as the mil quad . I've looked , info is limited . My questions is how many clicks in between hash marks on the Moa quad reticle ? Is it 10 ? Thank you and many more questions coming . Especially with streamlining my math .

The reticle and dials on this scope are both MOA so it will be 4 clicks per 1 MOA. Ten clicks are for MIL and is a totally different system. A rough approximation is
MOA click is 1/4" at 100 Yards M/L
MIL click is 1/3" at 100 Yards M/L. Or 10 clicks at 100 meters = 1 Mil
Clicks are not mechanically equal.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

In between the reference points in the recticle . You know the 10 and the 20 there are eleven hash marks . Forgive my ignorance but I was curious if that equated to 11 clicks on the knobs . Thank you .

No, it does not. The spacing between a short and a long hashmark is 1MOA which corresponds to fit clicks it there turret. The spacing between long hallmarks is 2MOA and from diamond to diamond is 12MOA.
With each tier click being 1/4 MOA, you can figure the rest out.

Looking at the pictures of the moa-quad version, it appears the turrets don't have numbers going in either direction on the windage and up two rotations on the elevation like the mil-quad version, is this correct?

You are correct if I understand your question correctly . It's numbered to 14 but doesn't have multiple values like the mil quad version . Thank you for the question you taught me something.

Mr Koshkin , I felt like a complete idiot when I downloaded the reticle subtensions, SWFA has made available. Didn't see it bottom left corner on web page . Thank you for breaking it down . I felt as if I wasted people's time .
