I'm going to the ACPT (in Stamford, Connecticut) this year; I'm very excited! I haven't done practice puzzles yet so I'm not sure how good I am. My intuition, though, is that my speed will be competitive, but I'm not consistent enough — I think I'm at high risk of making errors or failing to finish one or more puzzles.

I plan to do some preparation (including historical ACPTs). I may post some info in the comments so y'all can calibrate.

Resolves N/A if I end up not competing.

General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.
