Rules:
This tournament will use ACF’s gameplay rules, with their addenda for the inclusion of powermarks and any necessary modifications for online quizbowl.
Eligibility:
This tournament is open to all “open” players (that is, players not currently affiliated with any academic institution), as well as to any closed collegiate teams from ARCADIA host schools comprised of players who will staff or otherwise not play said institutions’ mirrors of ARCADIA. We anticipate having collegiate mirrors throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom between October 30, 2021 and January/February 2022.
If you do not fit into either of the above categories but would like to play this tournament, please email me explaining your situation.
Please also note that we reserve the right to split up teams that we feel are too strong and won't help us adequately playtest our set.
