2018 ACF Fall @ MIT (November 3, 2018)
Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2018 12:20 pm
I am pleased to announce the New England site of ACF Fall 2018, to be held at Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Saturday, 3 November 2018. Check-in will be from 8:30 am to 8:45 am in 34-101 (located in Building 34). Games will begin as soon as every team has checked in and will take place in Buildings 26, 34, and 36. A map of MIT's campus can be found here.
Getting to MIT
MIT is easily accessible via the Boston T system by taking the Red Line to the Kendall/MIT stop. We recommend teams avoid driving if possible, as parking is very difficult to find on the MIT campus. A list of parking locations on campus can be found here.
