MLK was an annual tournament put on by the University of Michigan over Martin Luther King Day weekend, since at least 1996. An incarnation of this tournament was also run at Georgia Tech during the 1990s with the earliest surviving set dating from 1994. It was regularly accompanied by the Ann B. Davis trash tournament.

From 1996 to 2004, the tournament used NAQT timing rules, including a nine-minute clock. In 2005, the clock was expanded to ten minutes per half to allow for more ACF-style tossups. In 2006, the clock was dropped altogether. The tournament featured powers starting in 2004.

In 2008, MLK was a mirror of Terrapin.[1][2] In 2009, MLK was replaced with ACF Winter (in an agreement that guaranteed Michigan hosting rights to the Midwest site).[3][4]

In 2016, there were ten mirrors of "MLK XVII," a regular difficulty question set edited by Michigan (Auroni Gupta, Will Nediger, Brian McPeak, Kenji Golimlim, Siddhant Dogra, Justin Millman, Noah Chen), and guest contributor Cody Voight.[5][6] The use of the Roman numeral "XVII" may have been due to a prior version of this article claiming that the nonexistent 2009 MLK was "MLK XVI."
