Hi. We’re ACF.

We produce four high-quality collegiate quizbowl tournaments each year. Our organization is completely student and volunteer-run, by quizbowl players, for quizbowl players. Our tournaments reward academic knowledge, encourage learning, and foster the spirit of competition and fair play.
