ACF Fall 2010 Results
We are a group of graduate and undergraduate students who like
to participate in College Bowl tournaments and similar competitions.
The exact rules of these competitions vary a bit, but generally,
opposing teams of players try to answer trivia questions (about
science, history, sports, etc.) and it's a bit like Jeopardy minus the answer-as-a-question format. You buzz in when you know the
answer. If you're right, your team gets points and the team as
a whole tries to answer a bonus question. If it's wrong ... well ... that's a different story. We find it very entertaining as well as (marginally) practical.
We meet weekly (most of the time) and practice our skills against
each other. Practices are held typically (as of 2009) in the SAC on Monday and Thursday nights starting around 7PM. Here directions how to get into the practice room. A few times a year we send teams to tournaments at
other schools. We also organize our own tournaments, both for
the Caltech community and for teams from other schools, including local high schools.
