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.
