Overall
School Team Bonus Prizes. Plaques to Top
5 school teams from all 4 sections combined.
All players compete for
all the individual prizes for which they are eligible. Players who qualify for a top place trophy as
well as a rating class trophy will receive the place trophy (place prizes, for
which all players are eligible, take precedence over class prizes, which are
limited only to players in that rating class).
If two or more players in a section attend the same school, they also compete for team prizes on
behalf of their school. The four
highest-scoring players from a school produce the school’s team score for that
section (teams of two or three players are allowed, but are at a disadvantage).
