We are pleased to announce that the Southern UK site of ACF Fall 2024 will be held at the University of Southampton on Saturday, October 19, 2024.The tournament will take place on the university’s Avenue Campus (Building 65). The opening meeting will begin at 9:45am and gameplay will begin at 10:00, with Jamie as the tournament director and Daniel as the safeguarding officer.
To make this tournament more accessible to new teams and players, ACF is enforcing eligibility guidelines for ACF Fall. Players are not eligible to compete at 2024 ACF Fall if, at any point, they:
Scored more than 60 PPG in the prelims of a college mirror of ACF Fall, OR
Were the top scorer (highest overall PPG) on a team that finished in the top 15% of the field, rounded up, at ACF Fall, OR
Scored more than 60 PP20TUH in the prelims of HSNCT or 60 PPG in the prelims of PACE NSC, OR
Were the top scorer (highest overall PPG) on a team that finished in the top 30 at HSNCT or top 10 at PACE NSC, OR
Finished in the top 12 in IPNCT
Scored more than 20 PPG in the prelims of ACF Nationals
Additionally, the UKQB committee will have the final say on the eligibility of teams putting themselves forward for novice tournaments, including ACF Fall. This is to ensure universities are sending players of an appropriate level. However, we will not be imposing any hard PPG caps from past performance in addition to ACF’s conditions already listed above. Instead, we are asking that university societies make their own reasonable judgements about sending only players they think are suitable for novice tournaments, and once a team has been submitted using the signup form below, UKQB will contact each team individually to let them know if they have been approved, with the intent being to do this within two days of submission.
Players are responsible for determining their own eligibility. If you have questions, email [email protected]. Failure to abide by these eligibility guidelines may result in disqualification from ACF Fall and/or future ACF tournaments.
