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.
