An “amateur team” is any
team with no member on any chess scholarship, and no IM or GM
on any scholarship. “Small school” is typically
defined as a school with less than 2000 students, but any school
may petition the TD to be considered as a small school. “Schools”
are the entire college or university, not a subunit of the university
(e.g., school of engineering). Women team trophies courtesy
