A couple of years ago, Crafty was entered into the Pan American event. I don't recall whether it won all games or won all except for one draw, but the field was week enough that even with that good result, its TPR was not even 2400. A couple of universities had a single GM on the team, but the majority were much weaker. The other problem is that 99.9% of all USCF events are (NC) flagged, meaning No Computers. Whatever is done is going to have to be done outside USCF/FIDE it would seem.
