Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Tournament

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.
