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. The seventh HFT was head edited and directed by Stephen Liu, and the eighth was co-edited by Liu and Will Holub-Moorman.

Raynor Kuang head-edited the 2016 and 2017 editions of the tournament. HFT remains one of the most wide-mirrored high school housewrites ever, with over 200 teams playing the 2016 edition at 13 different sites.

'*The 2006 edition featured Kyle Haddad-Fonda and "former State College standout John Lesieutre" "locked in one of the competition rooms while the tournament continued around us. After an hour, two maintenance guys busted down the emergency exit (which had been painted shut - some emergency exit!) to get us out." [1]

'**LASA A and LASA B opted to hold the final in Austin so that they could go to the symphony while in Cambridge. [2]
