Post by Yuu »

We are pleased to announce that we are hosting a high school mirror of 2024 ACF Fall at Georgia Tech on Sunday, October 20, 2024.

The tournament will take place at Georgia Tech. The opening meeting will begin at 8:45 AM and gameplay will begin at 9 AM. I, Tianyu Xu, will be the tournament director. Please direct any questions about this site to me at [email protected].

Eligibility
This mirror is only open to high school teams. The ACF eligibility requirements do not apply to high school mirrors.

Rules
This tournament will follow ACF’s official gameplay rules. Rules specifically pertaining to online tournaments have been rendered in blue.

Registration
Fill out the central 2024 ACF Fall registration form with all relevant information. The field for each site can be found here.

If possible, teams should register for the site that is geographically closest to them and/or is in the region they would normally attend. The field cap is 18, after which teams will be placed on a waitlist or potentially assigned to another site. Please register by October 10, 2024.

Fees

  • Base fee per team: $120

  • New to quizbowl discount*: −$80

  • Shorthanded discount (1–2 players): −$60

*The new to quizbowl discount is intended for schools that have not sent a team to any mainstream high school academic tournament (not counting exclusively novice tournaments) since September 2021, and which have no players who competed in non-novice high school tournaments during that same period.
