US Amateur South 2011 - UPSETS!

US Amateur South 2011: CHAMPIONSHIP
Upsets are always big parts of Amateur tournaments (part of the theme this year, "Every Pawn has the Right to Dream"), and those typically are noted for any that are greater than 300 ratings point difference. Already, we've had a whopping 8-the largest being just under 700 points!
