New Manuals & Rules
We created a new manual for competitors. Read it here. Seriously, read it. It is short and contains information that you’ll be glad to know.
We also updated the Judge Manual.
Webcams
We heard your feedback loud and clear. Both national tournaments will use video, allowing you to connect and communicate more effectively with judges.
If you haven’t yet, read our guide to debating on camera: Part 1, Part 2.
Sponsorships
The National tournaments have 3 awesome sponsors: Praxis, Criswell College, and Howard Payne. Combined, the scholarships available total exactly $1.5 million – that’s spelled with an “M” as in “1.5 Million Dollars.” That’s a lot of zeroes going straight to your post-high-school success.
Please take time to get to know the sponsors and thank them for their incredible support of the Christian homeschool community.
Discord
Instead of Skype, all national debates will be hosted on Discord servers. That gives you the best-quality, simplest way to participate in video debates.
Please download Discord and create a username in advance. Check out the manuals to learn more.
Updated Rules
The rules have been updated as follows:
Webcams are allowed
Detailed appeals (otherwise called “adjudication”) process
Reorganized for easy reference
Lots of tweaks and clarifications
Download it here to make sure you’re working from the up-to-date version.
