Who is required to submit a packet?

All A teams of schools who attended 2002 ACF Regionals.  Note that 
these are the only schools required to submit a packet for the 
tournament and who will be exempted from playing if they do not 
submit a packet.  Subsequent teams from the same schools and schools 
who did not play in this past year's regionals may submit packets for 
the corresponding discount but will not be required to do so.

I will post a detailed schedule of packet discount and penalty 
deadlines within the week, but keep this in mind - regardless of the 
date (Feb. 15th or March 1st) packets will not be accepted within 10 
days of the tournament, no exceptions.  If you think this is will be 
a problem, then contact me no later than three weeks before the 
tournament, and we might be able to work something out (I will post 
periodic reminders about this).

Teams will be required to submit a packet of 30 tossups and 30 
bonuses following the distribution guidelines listed in John 
Sheahan's writing supplement (I would encourage inexperienced teams 
to read this thoroughly) at 

http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~paik/acf/writers.html

There is one addendum - teams may choose to submit 1 tossup and 1 
bonus on popular culture (including sports, movies, tv, 
fantasy/scifi, games, food, etc.) if they choose.

I will post some additional formatting information and possibly a 
guide for teams who might need some help with question writing within 
the next week as well.

In the meantime, if you have any questions please contact me at
