Difference between revisions of "2015 ACF Nationals"

Revision as of 16:38, 19 April 2016

The 2015 ACF Nationals was held between April 18 and 19 at Michigan. It was edited by Ryan Westbrook, Ike Jose, Billy Busse, and Rob Carson.

Penn defeated Chicago in a one-game final.

Penn's victory was the long-awaited first national title for Eric Mukherjee, who had participated in his first national finals match seven years prior at 2008 ACF Nationals and played at a consistently high level in the interim.

This was also the first year in which ACF used the A-value to invite qualified teams to compete based on their performance at ACF Regionals, rather than maintaining unrestricted registration for any collegiate team as in years past.
