Re: ACF Regionals 2014 Global Announcement
I still need bids from this. I'd love to hear from all regions but there are particularly gaping holes in the South, Florida, Texas, California, the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Remember, if you host you get paid AND you don't have to write a packet!

Mirrors of ACF Regionals are now scheduled for Yale, UVA, Michigan, Western Kentucky, and the University of Missouri. I'm in the middle of talking to potential hosts in Florida, Canada, California, and the Pacific Northwest. (So if you'e still interested in hosting from one of those locations, please email me soon).

Re: ACF Regionals 2014 Global Announcement
If you've already written this part of your packet don't worry about this, but please note that the 24/24 distribution in the first post has changed. Instead of 1/1 pop culture there is now 1/0 or 0/1 pop culture required, and the other 1/0 and 0/1 is of any academic category.

Re: ACF Regionals 2014 Global Announcement
Is there any fee information for this? Are there still new team discounts for regionals?
Also, what's the approach to packet-writing when you have no science knowledge? Do your best and let the editors fix it, or just accept that your packet won't be used?

I recommend writing the best questions you can. We plan to liberally combine packets, so a packet having one weak area doesn't mean it won't be used.

Re: ACF Regionals 2014 Global Announcement
We would host for Florida but we already did ACF Fall, and it wouldn't be fair to our senior members who haven't played so far this year because I keep making them moderate, and they will also be sitting out NAQT Sectionals to host. I hope someone in Florida or nearby volunteers soon.
Re: ACF Regionals 2014 Global Announcement
The Florida mirror will be at the University of Central Florida.vcuEvan wrote:I'm still having trouble finding a host in Florida or in Minnesota.

I'd just like to verify whether the Colonel By A packet submission for the Jan. 4 deadline is a -$25 or a -$50 discount since they are a high school team.

Re: ACF Regionals 2014 Global Announcement
The discount marker in the first post just indicates what date the packet was submitted by. High school teams and teams writing optional packets will still get the appropriate discounts.adosreme wrote:I'd just like to verify whether the Colonel By A packet submission for the Jan. 4 deadline is a -$25 or a -$50 discount since they are a high school team.

Re: ACF Regionals 2014 Global Announcement
Eligibility Question: One of the teams attending the Toronto site has a graduate student who finished his studies at the end of the fall term (Dec. 2013). Is he still eligible to play ACF regionals for his school?

Re: ACF Regionals 2014 Global Announcement
If I'm understanding you correctly, Aaron, this should be fine; the ACF rules say:
If this student was doing work towards his degree in Fall 2013, he is eligible to play for the entirety of the 2013-2014 competition year.
(emphasis mine)For collegiate tournaments, players must be taking classes for credit (or doing equivalent undergraduate or graduate work) in a degree program, during the academic year in which the tournament takes place, under the aegis of the school for which they are playing.
If this student was doing work towards his degree in Fall 2013, he is eligible to play for the entirety of the 2013-2014 competition year.

I am looking to get information about how we will get our trophies for the Toronto mirror of ACF Regionals. Do you know what information we will need to provide for this?

I sent out the packets to all the hosts except Rice (we'll send this out next week in case any problems with the set are discovered over the weekend). If you haven't received them, or if there's some problem, e-mail me.
