Ratings shown in bold are the players' current ratings (June 1996 Ratings
 List).  Those shown in parentheses are the ratings in effect at the time of
 the US Amateur Championship (April Rating Supplement).
The United States Chess Federation would like to extend it thanks to the Internet Chess Club for hosting the playoffs and to NTD Glenn Petersen, Chief Tournament Director for today's activities. A special word of thanks to the volunteer Tournament Directors, Internet Operators, and Runners in each of the four regions. Their work is done behind the scenes, but there could be no playoff without them.
