'''ACF rules''' are the rules used for [[ACF]] tournaments. They are also very widely used at other tournaments.

==Summary==
* Matches consist of 20 [[tossup-bonus cycles]], with a very brief [[halftime]] break after 10 cycles
* Four players play at a time
* Matches consist of [[tossups]] with [[interrupt penalties]] in effect (worth –5 points), but no [[powers]]. Non-power correct tossup answers are worth 10 points.
* Correct tossup answers in regulation lead to [[bonuses]] comprising three parts with 10 points each
* Players have 5 seconds to begin answering after they are recognized for buzzing in on a tossup
* There are 5 seconds from the end of reading a tossup until the tossup [[going dead|goes dead]]
* Teams have 5 seconds to answer each bonus part; the moderator prompts after 4 seconds. (The rules permit question text to specify a different time limit, but that is extremely rare.) Bonus parts do not [[bounce back]].
* Each team is allocated one 30-second [[timeout]]
* Teams may substitute players at halftime or before [[overtime]], but not at timeouts
* If necessary, [[overtime]] consists solely of [[sudden death]]

==Modifications==
Many tournaments allow [[powers]] (nearly always worth 15 points).
