Post by vydu »

I am pleased to announce that the Lower Mid-Atlantic site of 2020 ACF Regionals will be held at the University of North Carolina on Saturday, January 25, 2020.

The tournament will take place at Dey Hall, with team check-in beginning at 8:15 in Dey 305 and gameplay beginning at 9:00. I will be the tournament director. Please direct any questions about this site to me at [email protected].

Eligibility
In general, teams where players are all attending the same school and all taking at least one class for credit during the 2019–2020 school year are eligible to play 2020 ACF Regionals. ACF’s full eligibility rules are available here. Questions about eligibility should be directed to [email protected].

Rules
This tournament will follow ACF’s official gameplay rules.

Registration
Fill out the central 2020 ACF Regionals registration form with all relevant information. The form is here: https://forms.gle/2muU28fo5GxczdPA8. The field for each site can be found here.

The field cap is 16, after which teams will be placed on a waitlist. Please register by January 20, 2020 at the latest.

The new to quizbowl discount is intended for schools that did not send a team to any regular collegiate academic tournament (exclusively Novice tournaments do not count) since September 2018, and have no one on the team(s) claiming this discount who played those tournaments for another school.

Packet Discounts/Penalties
Any team with at least two people 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, 2018 is required to submit a half-packet. If they have not already requested them, teams will receive their distribution after registering. If you are unsure whether your team is required to submit a half-packet, please email ACF at [email protected].

The submission schedule is as follows (your submission must be sent to [email protected] by 11:59 PM PDT):

Thank you to all the teams that came out to play ACF Regionals yesterday! Virginia beat Duke A in a one game final to win the tournament, and Duke A was the undergraduate champion. Full stats can be found here.
