Dynasty Academic Competition Questions

Dynasty Academic Competition Questions, or DACQ, is a question-writing company founded in 2007 by Rebecca Fischer, Alex Price, Chris Ray, and Sharon Wong. It faded from existence in 2008 after consistently failing to live up to its obligations. Some of the schools who ordered questions from them for the 2007-08 season were still waiting to receive questions or refunds at the beginning of the 2008-09 season. However, the company did fulfill its obligations by the end of the 2008 calendar year.

Practice Sets

DACQ's primary business was selling high school teams four packets each month of 20/20 mACF style questions. This made their business model very much like Patrick's Press, but that's where the similarities ended. DACQ wrote good questions, and Patrick's Press behaved professionally.

Tournaments

DACQ ran the Weekend of Quizbowl Goodness in April 2008 at George Mason. The tournament was characterized by a strong field, strong questions that were not written by DACQ, and weak organization. A doubles tournament that had been planned for Saturday evening never took place, and several teams walked out of the tournament at various points.
