An Important Announcement about ACB
ACB will be happening this year, despite
the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are anticipating a relatively 'normal' start to the season;
that is,
we expect to start in mid-November as has historically been
the case.
Game play during this season will return to in-person
play.
If circumstances warrant, play may be suspended until
in-person play resumes.
Should a long term suspension of in-person play occur, remote
play
will be used to continue play. Remote play will be held
with students
at their home school; remote play from home will not occur.
Because the COVID-19 pandemic is still a concern, in-person
play
will begin with mandatory masking. Since the COVID
vaccines are
not yet approved for students of younger ages, mandatory
vaccinations
are NOT required at this time. However, if
vaccines are approved
for younger students, future participation may require
students
to be vaccinated.
Much like last year, this will again be a season unlike any
other
in the history of Academic Challenge Bowl.
Coaches and players are asked to be patient, respectful and
helpful
as we work to make this season a safe, fun, educational
endeavor.
