Hello All,

The Berkeley Quizbowl Club presents the Western edition ACF Regionals 
2003, to be held in Barrows Hall on Saturday, February 15, 2003.  
Refreshments will be served at 9 AM, announcements will be given at 
9:15AM, and play will start promptly at 9:30AM.

ELIGIBILITY:  http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~paik/acf/eligibility.html

FEES: 
Base fee: $95 per team
Minimum fee after discounts: $55 
(The $55 minimum fee also automatically applies to any team that 
has not played in ACF regionals in the last two years).

The "A" team from a club that has played at an ACF Regional 
Tournament within the past two years must submit a packet to Subash 
Maddipotti, either at suby10 at yahoo dot com or subash at uchicago 
dot edu.  Detailed packet guidelines can be found at:
http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~paik/acf/regionals.html.  Packets may 
be submitted as a MS Word, RTF, or text attachment, in that order of 
preference. 

Here is the packet submission penalty schedule.  The last deadline 
for a discount occurred about 2 and a half hours ago:
Packet in by midnight CST Wednesday, January 22 - no penalty
Packet in by midnight CST Wednesday, January 29 - $15 penalty
Packet in by midnight CST Wednesday, February 5 - $30 penalty
(If you need a 1-2 day extension, Subash will grant one provided 
you ask BEFORE the deadline. NO PACKETS WILL BE ACCEPTED after 
February 5, unless by prior arrangement with Subash at least a week
in advance.)

Equipment discounts: -$5 per buzzer set, 1 discount per team. 
(Bring more buzzers, and if it turns out we're running short, we will 
grant additional discounts to the schools that brought extras.)
Moderator discounts: -$10 per competent official
Multiple team discounts: -$5 for a second team, and -$15 for each 
team after that.

If you intend on competing in the ACF West Regional, please let
me, Matt Levine, know by sending an e-mail to arwmatt 
at uclink dot berkeley dot edu.  If you have any questions regarding 
lodging, directions, or anything else, feel free to ask.

Thanks.
