>> "FWIW, an answer of "The Lifeboat" was once ruled incorrect at an ACF event where the desired answer was "Lifeboat", so I think I already know on which side of the fence they are."<< As has been mentioned before, ACF is not a monolithic "they," and I suspect that this answer generally _would_ be accepted at most ACF events, unless there was some specific reason not to do so. Also, I agree with Roger Bhan's comments on the Div II thing. Most of my younger FAU teammates have played one or two years of D2, but they simply would not be competitive in D1, nor are they likely to be after 3 or 4 years of playing -- as someone mentioned, they don't have the degree of motivation to improve at the game (and there's nothing wrong with that -- they're busy folks). It's up to the strong Div II player to decide whether it's time for him/her to jump up to Div I this year, as Chip Thomas did in the Florida SCT with FCCJ. I also second Roger's compliments of the question sets. This was only my third NAQT tournament, but I thought it was the best of the three sets I've played on (or perhaps I'm simply less ignorant of current events this year). A couple weak lead-ins here and there, but for the most part it seemed very good to me. --Raj Dhuwalia
