ACF Regionals 2006 Announcement and Call for Hosts
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2005 5:07 pm
ACF Regionals 2006 will be held on the weekend of February 4th, 2006 at various locations to be announced. I, Mike Sorice, will serve as chief editor. I will be assisted by Matt Lafer, Chris Romero, and possibly others. I can be contacted at [email protected], Matt at [email protected], and Chris at [email protected].
Parties interested in hosting a regional should contact Chris at their earliest convenience. In particular, we would like one host in each of the following traditional regions:
Lower Midwest
Mid-Atlantic
Northeast
Southeast
Upper Midwest
West
We are certainly willing to create further sites (Northwest, Canada, etc.) if demand for them exists. Please feel free to contact Chris with proposals to host in or requests for sites in other regions.
All A and B teams from schools that fielded a team for ACF Regionals 2004 or 2005 are required to submit acceptable packets of questions pursuant to the distribution and guidelines for this tournament. If any team wishes to compete without submitting a packet, they may do so at the cost of a $40 penalty, with our permission. Teams wishing exercise this option must contact me no later than January 13th.
Packet deadlines and accompanying fee adjustments are as follows:
December 23rd: -$30
January 6th: -$20
January 13th: +$0
January 20th: +$20
The broad distribution is the same as last year’s and is as follows:
Literature 5/5
History 5/5
Science 5/5
Religion/Myth/Philosophy 3/3
Fine Arts 3/3
Geography/Social Sciences 2/2
More Science, Lit, or History 2/2
Your Choice 1/1
A more specific subdistribution and formatting guidelines will be posted shortly, but these will not significantly deviate from last year’s. In addition to following the distribution, subdistribution, and formatting guidelines, questions must be written in accordance with Subash’s guidelines, available at http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~paik/acf/subash.html. ACF reserves the right to reject as unacceptable any packet that does not follow any of these stipulations. If you have questions as to the fitness of a proposed question or regarding the distribution or other question issues, please contact me. Please send completed packets to Matt.
