I am posting this message on behalf of Charlie Steinhice, who sent it to the QB list earlier this month, but has not seen it appear. The next message contains a brief announcment for ACF Detox (a trash tourney following Regionals) and directions to UTC. E-mail Charlie at charlies_at_... to register or for any questions. Or you can e-mail me at suby10_at_... This is to confirm that the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Academic Trivia Association will host ACF Southeast Regionals again this spring. ACF Southeast Regionals will be a one-day tournament on Sat., Jan. 20. Registration begins at 9 AM EST in Grote 129 (see next mess. for directions.) Announcements are at 9:45 and play begins at 10 AM.
