DART (Detroit Country Day Academic Regular Tournament) is a series of high-school housewrites produced by the Detroit Country Day School.

DART I

The first DART was mirrored starting in January 2021. It was head-edited by Christopher Gilmer-Hill and written exclusively by the DCDS team, with help from outside subject editors. The target difficulty was high-school regular, which it was perceived to have overshot somewhat. Compared to other mACF sets, the distribution featured more geography, current events and trash, and less religion and mythology – a sort of middle ground between the ACF and NAQT distributions.

DART II

The second iteration of the set was first mirrored in September 2021. Head-edited by Gilmer-Hill and Arthur Gayden, it was produced in collaboration with Troy High School, as well as a pool of guest writers recruited through an open application process. Unlike the previous year's set, DART II was meant to be regular-plus difficulty. It kept mostly the same distribution, again with increased geo/CE/trash and less religion/myth.
