This fall Vanderbilt will be hosting the fortieth iteration of the Academic Bowl Competition. We have not decided on the questions, but we are planning to house-write and/or mirror another house-written tournament. Questions are expected to be similar in difficulty and distribution to the ABC tournaments held the past two years (examples of which can be found here); in particular, for the third straight year, there will be no math computation toss-ups. As usual, there will be optional evening rounds on Friday, October 29, for seeding, with the main tournament taking place on Saturday, October 30.
Fees are as follows:
$70 for each team
-$5 for each functional buzzer set
-$15 for each competent staffer
$35 minimum fee
Schools sending more than one team are REQUIRED to provide a competent staffer.
To register, please send an e-mail including your school's name, the number of teams you are bringing, the number of buzzer sets you are bringing, the number of staffers you are bringing, and a contact phone number where we can reach you on the day of the tournament, to [email protected]
Finally, since this will be taking place around Halloween, feel free to display your finest Halloween costumes.

For questions, please contact Joshua Ryan Mastin at [email protected] .
Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you all there.
