Dear Academic Team Coordinator:
Charter Academic Bowl is pleased to announce the eighth annual Delaware Fall Open, to be held on December 8, 2007. The tournament will use NAQT's question set 69A.
All teams are guaranteed five preliminary rounds, with the highest teams advancing to playoff rounds. We feature two separate divisions of competition, each with playoffs and awards:
- Any team may enter the Varsity division.
- JV teams must be composed of 9th-10th grade students, or 11th-12th grade students who are new to competition this year.
The exact format of the tournament will be determined according to the size of the field. Past formats have often used power matching of records.
