ACSL is a non-profit organization that administers computer
contests for junior and senior high school students. Last year
over 300 schools participated in the monthly contests, and 3
Apple PowerBook 170's were awarded as top prizes.

ACSL contests cover both programming and computer science.  The
regular season consists of four monthly contests. Contests are
held at each school, with unlimited student participation; the
school score is sum of its top 3 or 5 students. At the end of the
season, teams from the top schools meet over Memorial Day weekend
for head-to-head battle at the International All-Star Contest.

More information about the organization, including a registration
form and a few sample contest problems, can be retrieved using
anonymouse ftp from the PostScript document in

    gatekeeper.pa.dec.com:pub/DEC/acslflier92.ps

Hardcopy of an ACSL flier is available upon request.
