Notes:
	See USCF yearbook issues of Chess Life.
	Dan Edleman (?) wrote the first and only other history of the Pan-Am
	USCF web site has press releases and rating history of events.
	UMBC and UTD web sites have info and press releases (UTD's site has errors).
	USCF web site has detailed tournament reports, but team info is usually lost (event is often reported as individual for ratings).
	No attempt has been made to protect event names as trade names, and names may intrude on protected trade names.
	In some years (prior to 1996), high school teams were allowed to play in college team section.
	On Jan 1, 2004, new eligibility rules went into effect, imposing age limit for Ims and GMs only;  a six year limit;  and 2.0 GPA.
