The Harvard Fall Tournament, or HFT, is a house-written high school tournament held by the Harvard College Bowl Team at Harvard University each fall. Stuyvesant High School (NY) won the first HFT on October 14, 2006. Walt Whitman High School (MD) won the second edition on November 10, 2007. Kyle Haddad-Fonda served as chief editor for both tournaments and as tournament director for the first; Dennis Sun was tournament director for the second.
The third annual HFT, edited by Andy Watkins and Kyle Haddad-Fonda, was held at Harvard on November 15, 2008. State College won an advantaged final against Hunter to win the tournament; the margin of victory was just twenty points in each game. Mirrors were held at VCU (won by Walter Johnson over Maggie Walker), Rockford Auburn, Raleigh Charter, and the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School. The fourth and fifth HFTs were edited and directed by Dallas Simons and Andy Watkins.
HFT, particularly the 2008 and 2010 sets, has earned a reputation as one of the most difficult sets of the competitive year in high school quizbowl.
