Announcement! The American Crossword Puzzle Tournament will be virtual/online this spring, and registration is now open at the ACPT site. The puzzles will be released in an AmuseLabs interface like the one Boswords has been using for its various online crossword tournaments—I think I’m a notch or two slower there than in .puz format, but it’s certainly workable. The virtual ACPT will include via video many of the extra events and games you may know from in-person ACPTs of yore (I reckon you’re on your own for wine and cheese), and follow the customary schedule of fun stuff on Friday and Saturday night, puzzle sessions on Saturday and Sunday, and the finals competition and awards Sunday afternoon. $50 for individuals, $60 for the pairs solving option.
Obligatory reminder to bump your clocks forward an hour before you go to bed Saturday night, Americans!
