I thought I heard that Russellville High School (AL) would be coming.

An IS tournament for colleges on the date of ACF Fall? Really?

[Matt Weiner]

They're doing ACF Fall the next day. This doesn't obviate the problems with running high-school questions for colleges as a general principle, but they aren't competing with Fall or anything.

Yeah, this set was brutal. Twas a poor choice for high school, let alone college.

Congratulations to Alabama G (grad team) for winning the tournament. They defeated MSU in a 1-game final when both teams finished 9-1 on the day.

Note: A team leaving after the 4th round forced an impromtu rescheduling off the top of my head, which is why every team's game totals don't match.

I guess NAQT high school questions really are impossible!
