Since I am roughly a third finished with writing with two and half more months to go, I think it is safe to make an official announcement for PRICK 2003. The tournament is still scheduled for October 18, 2003, at Princeton and will be an in-house written tournament (i.e. no packet submission). The questions will be somewhere in between ACF Regionals and ACF Nationals difficulty, with a skew toward the latter. Just as a disclaimer since almost all of the teams who have contacted have little or no ACF Nationals experience: The questions are being written with a more experienced field in mind and will be a noticeable step up from Buzzerfest in difficulty. While I am trying my damnedest to keep everything accessible to a mainstream audience, I would just advise interested teams to look over Wildcat and ACF Nationals packets from the ACF website to get a feel for the material. With that said, the following teams have so far expressed interest: Maryland, VCU, Cornell, Rutgers, Rutgers-Newark, Chris White from Swarthmore. Just so I know how many rooms to reserve, I'd appreciate any interested teams not listed to express interest by e-mail ASAP and for listed teams to contact me with a confirmation once one is available. The entry fee will be $100, with $10 off for buzzers (limit 2) and a negotiable travel discount for qualifying teams. My e-mail is cfrankel (at) princeton.edu. Finally, I am greatly interested in mirroring the tournament for a wider audience. So far a Northwestern represntative has hinted at hosting a Midwestern mirror, although I'd be up for Southern and West Coast mirrors as well. I can be flexible on dates and fees, so if anyone's interested in a hardcore fall tournament but unable to make the trip to Princeton, let me know. -Chris Frankel -Princeton College Bowl
