Academic Competition Federation - ACF Format

ACF Format

The ACF game consists, simply, of twenty ten-point tossups with thirty-point bonuses. There is no clock and there are no powers. See the ACF rules for the full description of the format.

Almost all collegiate academic tournaments, as well as all trash tournaments, now use this format (though some add in the powers from NAQT). It has also become a popular high school format in many areas, and is used for such notable high school tournaments as the GATA State Championship, the Vanderbilt ABC, the GSAC, the Maryland Spring Tournament, the Yale BHSAT, and the Thomas Jefferson winter tournament.
