ACF Regionals West at UCLA: 16 February 2008
ACF Regionals West at UCLA: 16 February 2008
UCLA is proud to announce the ACF Regionals West Tournament 2008.
Additional Information
FEES
Base fee: $120 per team
Buzzers: -$5 each for working buzzers
Staffers: -$10 each
Travel: -$10 per team for each 200 miles travelled
Canada: -$20 for your team being from a Canadian school
New ACF teams (your school did not send a team to ACF Fall, Regionals, or Nationals since September 2005, AND no one on the team claiming this discount played those tournaments for another school) -$25 per team
New quizbowl teams (your school did not send a team to any regular collegiate academic tournament between September 2005 and January 2008, AND no one on the team claiming this discount played those tournaments for another school) -$100 per team
Minimum fee for a school: $0
GENERAL INFO
ACF Regionals will be held on Saturday, February 16, 2008.
Information for those required to write packets is at http://www.hsquizbowl.org/regionals2008.html .
Regionals this year will display a SIGNIFICANT drop in difficulty from the past few years. While it will not be quite as easy as ACF Fall, it will be emblematic of "regular difficulty" in quizbowl rather than any hypothetical "Regionals difficulty." It may compare roughly in difficulty and style to Penn Bowl 2007. With that in mind, coupled with an initiative to get teams who only played College Bowl or Honda in the past to attend this tournament, I hope to see teams display interest in regions which did not have ACF Regionals sites in 2007, as well as in the traditional locations.

That's cool. Also, is there a field update for this, because I'm somewhat curious.

I anticipate that the tournament will be in Bunche Hall at the extreme north end of campus, though no such details have been posted. UCLA has only used Bunche, Rolfe (just southwest of Bunche), and Ackerman Student Union for its tournaments since I can remember. The tournament will likely start around 9:30. Chris will post better information or I will post it once Chris sends it to the competing teams or the UCLA Quizbowl listserv.dinoian wrote:I don't know if I missed it somewhere in the original post, but what time does the tournament start that morning? What time is it expected to go to? Where on the UCLA campus will it be located?
The official results from ACF Regionals West 2008 can be found on:

Thanks to all the teams for attending and thanks to the behind-the-scenes crew for making the tournament run smoothly.
Best of luck to all the teams for future tournaments and we hope to see you back at UCLA.

Hey Chris,
Not that it matters that much, since it doesn't appear to change the individual order, but I'm pretty sure my stats are switched with Dwight's for the BYU game. Also, I definitely remember negging in the first game against Stanford, but also getting five tossups... perhaps one of my negs and one of my tossups were attributed to Marcus? A few other things look iffy as well, but I don't remember the games well enough to be sure. You guys did a great job getting everything done, and I realize that errors in the individual stats are not the TD's fault, but the product of being understaffed and having moderators (some with less experience) without a scorekeeper, so it's not a huge deal. Thanks for running a good tournament.
Mike
