I am pleased to announce that Yale University will be the Northeast site for ACF Fall 2011 to be held on Saturday, November 5th, 2011 in William L. Harkness Hall. Registration will begin at 8:30. We hope to start the tournament by 9:15.
This is a packet submission tournament; therefore, as per the ACF submission rules, any team with at least one person on it who played a regular, collegiate, academic quizbowl tournament prior to September 1, 2010 is required to submit a packet in order to participate in an ACF tournament in 2011-2012. This includes ACF Fall. As of last year, high school players are now included in this definition and are subject to the same discounts and penalties as college teams. Teams required to submit packets who do not submit one by the final deadline will be dropped from the tournament.
Rules and guidelines for packet writing/submission can be found in the general ACF Fall announcement thread: http://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12046
Submit packets to OctagonJoe@gmail.com and use "ACF Fall 2011: [Team Name]" in the subject line.
