Hello!

I am pleased to announce the UK site of ACF Regionals 2016, to be held at the University of Warwick on Saturday, 6 February 2016. The tournament will most likely be held in the Social Sciences building (though it may end up being in the Humanities building), on campus, with registration opening at 09:30 for a 10:00 start.

Registration for this event has two steps:
First, please write to us at [email protected] with team name, number, and buzzer/staffer information.
Second, fill out the central ACF Regionals registration form with all relevant information.

Fees:
More information on fees will be announced shortly, but they should be similar to those used at this year's ACF Fall.

Packet Submission:
Any team with at least one person on it who played a regular, collegiate, academic quizbowl tournament* (either as a college student or as a high school student) prior to September 1, 2014 is required to submit a packet.

Oxford A cleared the field 10-0 to enter an advantaged final against Oxford B (9-1). Oxford B won the first round of the advantaged final by 240-235. Oxford A then took the final by 355-145.

Due to some appalling weather and the unreliability of cheap coach operators, the tournament ran dramatically late, but this was through no fault of Warwick who organised with aplomb. Thanks to Warwick for hosting and to ACF for the event.
