The '''Delaware Fall Open''' is a high school [[quizbowl]] tournament held every December (usually the second Saturday) at [[Wilmington Charter]]. Run on [[NAQT]] questions (usually a level A set), it tends to attract a mid-size field of D.C., Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania teams.

Directed by [[Bill Tressler]] and Charter Academic Bowl, the first two years the tournament was held at the [[Sanford]] School. When Bill moved to Charter, the tournament came with him, but Delaware Fall Open III was hosted by [[Salesianum]].

One feature popular with some teams is the trash round. Many years this is run in the second part of the lunch break. Lunch is usually sold in the cafeteria due to a dearth of eating establishments in the vicinity of Charter.

This is one of the few tournaments in the Mid-Atlantic that offers a JV division. Any freshman or sophomore is eligible to play JV. A junior or senior who played no high school quizbowl before the current academic year is also eligible.

An upcoming feature of this tournament will be an "all time" trophy, which has not yet been given a name. For each year that they attended a school will be given a number of points equal to the number of wins earned by their highest placing team (JV or varsity) at the tournament. Beginning with Delaware Fall Open X, the team with the highest number of cumulative points will win the trophy. Winners are then reset to zero, so that the trophy rotates among top teams in subsequent years.
