What's going on with Academic Bowl this year??
September 10, 2020
Enrollment for Academic Bowl is now open. AcBo deadline is September 25.
When you enroll, you must choose online, virtual or in person. You will have an opportunity to change your selection in October. Once competition has started we will stay the course unless the all of the schools assigned to your group or area opts to change.
Championship?
For those teams playing in person AcBo, we will have a championship. It's a long time until February... Put it on your calendar for February 22. Know that might (probably will) need to make adjustments or change going forward. We'll figure out what's next when we run into an issue.
THANK YOU!!!
