Teams that finish in the top 15% of the field will automatically qualify for NAQT's 2018 HSNCT (High School National Championship Tournament), held on the weekend of May 26th in Atlanta, Georgia.

Registration
If you would like to register your high school for FAcT, please fill out this Google form. Please direct any questions to [email protected].
We are capping the FAcT field at 24 teams, but will maintain a waiting list for teams beyond that. Spots will likely go quickly, so please register as soon as possible! Posts in this thread are fine for "expressing interest" but will not count as registrations. If registered teams indicate that they can bring enough staffers, we may be able to increase the field cap.
