Re: How many ACF Members are there?

The current ACF officers and a good many of the current few membership absolutely do no care about internet in any way. Until the ACF adopts and embraces the internet world both by making the forum more accessible and by having a easily accessed online gaming site the ACF is doomed to die. Period. R...

Re: Ideas for Improving Tournaments

The unprofessional tourns is exactly why i no longer got to tourns or have any respect for the acf or its officers. The ONLY way the ACF can gain respect is to have a PROFESSIONAL run national tourn in whatever form (3-move or GAP) ACF does not have the authority over state and other local tourns bu...

Re: Treasurer Report

Boy, I am thinking slow! Alex can you ask John if he was ever given this treasurer information? I am guessing he was not and Kim was not also. If this is true, then Richard or someone in the ex. commite, has been less than forthcoming with other officers. I still do not have a trusting warm fuzzy fe...

Re: 2014 WQT in the United States

haha silly grandmaster! Surely by now, you realize the ACF does not communicate with it's membership in it's public forum or pretty much in any way for that matter. Sharing information about any of the goings on of the officers,or duties, or anything else is apparently against policy of this adminis...

Re: Strawberry Fest 2013

You are simply greedy. With your current attitude and the current ACF leadership and polices, The ACF IS and Will continue its downward spiral. Simply look at the history of the past years and you can easily see the leadership and corresponding downward membership and participation. Your attitude sh...

Re: Ratings and Memberahip

good idea

ACF will not give ratings to less than full membership and bulletins to less than full membership
ut certainly would be nice if the ACF exec committee and officers would jump in and give CLEAR answers.

uniform rules at a tournment

The 3.7 WCDF rule says: “ If a player wishes to verify their record of a game by comparing it with that of their opponent, they must inform the tournament controller and if allowed, do it in their own playing time.” In which case and how many times could a player check his record of the game?

Re: Alex Holmes plays in Masters- Should he?

He won majors to EARN his way into masters. There are no STANDARDIZED rules written by ACF or used across the board in state tournaments. Playing in master division will greatly speed his progress by playing tougher competition and again....He has EARNED it. About the only one that would not agree w...
