Greetings, As the fields are taking form for the various sites hosting the 2002 version of the ACF Fall Tournaments, I would like to take the opportunity to address players and teams around the country that are not traditional participants in ACF-style events. For a variety of reasons, inexperienced quizbowl players have shown a general reluctance to attend ACF-style events in recent years. This is a trend that I hope can be reversed, and I think a good first step in this direction is to encourage you to give the ACF Fall Tournaments a try. The response I received last year from teams new to the ACF experience was almost overwhelmingly positive, with the relatively low difficulty level and abundance of relatively inexperienced teams providing an introduction to the ACF format that was much less intimidating than a typical circuit event, allowing people to see what I, and many others, love so much about the format. If you've yet to play in an ACF-style event, I would strongly encourage you to give it a try on November 2. If you end up not caring for the format, then that's fine, but I think you might be surprised how much you end up liking the experience. There's still plenty of time to enter the site nearest you (which you can find at www.acf-qb.org under the 2002 Fall Tournament link). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at ksmcke0 at hotmail dot com. Thanks, Kelly McKenzie Editor, 2002 ACF Fall Tournaments
