Teams can ask for the tournament director to grant exceptions. Do you mean for the 50/30/10 p...

Since the UNC site is already at 19 teams, does that mean one of those teams and any additional teams from the Lower Mid-Atlantic that want to play ACF Fall will be moved to play at this site? How are you going to decide who plays at which site? Sorry for the late reply. At this time, I am not exac...

Update: This tournament is now the overflow site for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. This tournament will be co directed by Michael Kearney.

Have you considered recording the training sessions for those who cannot attend on the given dates?

Stony Brook used these scoresheets for our latest tournament. They are very intuitive, especially for TDs. Occasionally we had some problems where the scoresheet would display VALUE in the total score columns. Later on in the tournament, we discovered that one of the teams had to be on the left side...

Also can this be moved to collegiate discussion?

As some may know, Stony Brook hosted the northeast mirror of LIT on September 26. There were a decent amount of problems for me to step back and reassess everything. I was the co tournament director and the sole stat keeper for the tournament and it can be concluded that I was to blame for most of t...

My YellowFruit was working fine until I went to export the full report. Then it froze for about 2 minutes and finally crashed. When I tried to reopen it, all that came up was a java script error. I can't seem to open any of the files I saved to the program.

First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone who took part in this tournament! I hope everyone enjoyed it. With that being said... during the tournament, players private messaged tournament directors via Discord to express their concern at possible cheating going on. After reading the concerns...

Hello all, (I finally got some wifi, thank god) I am happy to announce that we are making Wolfie Bowl available for mirrors for the 2020-2021 season. This set is available for HS OPEN ONLY mirrors. This means that the field will consist of chimera teams. We made this decision as to not over saturate...

Wolfie Bowl happened and it was a moderate success! I'd like to thank all the players who competed. Everyone did so well and it was great that the set was mostly well received.

We have a couple spots open still for free agents. Also if you have less than four players of your team and unless you hav...

Traditionally, I think it's best to playtest high school questions only with players who are ineligible (i.e. graduated from high school.) Else, you create weird incentives and it's harder to reveal answers because there isn't as much contact between current potential players of this set and colleg...

There about 3 teams in the waitlist as of the time I am writing this. I need more staffers to increase the cap. I hope to increase the cap because I want everyone who wishes to play, play. To reiterate, staffers will be paid $20.
