In order to attend ACF Nationals, your team must attend the prior ACF 
Regionals and your team must submit a packet.  Other than these 
stipulations, there is no qualification procedure.  Your team's 
performance at ACF Regionals is not considered, nor does ACF expect 
only "better" teams to attend.

Full information regarding this year's ACF Nationals will be posted 
shortly.  In the meantime, if you have any pressing questions 
regarding this tournament feel free to drop me a line at rsbhan _at_
