Robert MeredithDr. Robert L. Meredith, at the time an assistant professor of English at the Georgia Institute of Technology, became coach of their quizbowl team in 1980. Meredith instituted "The System" that Georgia Tech, and later other successful quizbowl programs, followed continuously to this day to develop players, requiring team members to produce questions on a regular basis for practice. Meredith innovated the match format of twenty toss-ups, untimed, on all thirty point bonuses all on academic material, thus making him a forefather of the Academic Competition Federation . It is for primarily this reason the ACF national championship trophy is named the Meredith Cup in his honor. Doc Meredith coached Tech to three non-College Bowl, pre-ACF, national championships in the 1980s. Meredith, Robert
