> Information about the American Computer Science League:
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> 
> The American Computer Science League (ACSL) administers computer 
> science contests for junior and senior high school students, publishes 
> a newsletter containing the results of each contest and items of 
> interest, and awards prizes (computers, books, and trophies) to 
> outstanding students and schools at local and regional levels. This 
> year, our 14th year of operation, about 300 schools in the United 
> States and Canada are participating.
>  
> Contests are held at each participating school thereby eliminating 
> the need for travel, and an unlimited number of students from all 
> grade levels may compete at each school. A school's score is the 
> sum of the scores of its five highest-scoring students. In each 
> competition, students are given short theoretical and applied 
> questions, and then a practical problem to solve within the following 
> three days, testing it on our data using their school's computer 
> facilities. After the contest is administered by the faculty advisor, 
> each school's results are returned to ACSL for tabulation.  At the 
> end of the year, an Invitational Team All-Star Contest is held at 
> a common site. The 1992 contest will be held at G. Holmes Braddock 
> HS in Miami, FL over Memorial Day Weekend.
> 
> The 4 regular season contests are held at each school. Base on these 
> results, the top 75 or so schools are invited to the International 
> All-Star Contest, to be held this year at G. Holmes Braddock HS in 
> Miami, FL over Memorial Day Weekend. 
> 
> ACSL is a non-profit organization, and prizes are mostly donated 
> by industry. Last year, the top prizes were one dozen Macinstosh 
> SEs donated by Apple Computer Inc. They were awarded to the top schools 
> in each of the three divisions. Books, donated by Addison-Wesley, 
> Digital Press, Prentice-Hall, Princeton University Press, MIT Press, 
> and John Wiley were awarded to top students in each division.
