Harvard Fall Tournament
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 HFT will be edited by Dallas Simons and directed, for the second year, by Andy Watkins.

- 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]
