Novice Public Forum Debate

Event Description:

• Public Forum
• The debate will follow the 4-4-3-4-4-3-3-3-3-2-2 format.
• Each team will have 3 minutes of prep time to use as they wish. We will respect the NSDA pilot of 1 additional minute of prep.
• ​A novice debater is a competitor in their first year of competition in ANY event. If a student competed in middle school, but did not compete in debate events on that level, they may be considered novice during their first high school season.For a team to enter the novice division, both speakers must be in their novice year.
• Laptop computers and tablet devices may be used by delegates, but may not be used to receive information for competitive advantage from non-competitors (coaches, assistant coaches, teammates, other students, etc.) inside or outside of the room in which the competition occurs.
