We are starting a new program which highlights Parliamentary and National Forensic Association Lincoln-Douglas debate. We will travel and compete on an interstate regional circuit. Most tournaments will be on weekends, and most will be over night.
Parliamentary debate is a two person, extemporaneous format based on British debate.
Evidence is not used either in the construction of the affirmative case nor in the refutation of that case. NFA Lincoln-Douglas debate is a one person policy format. It is similar to NFL cross-ex, except that the time limits are shorter, and the stock issue paradigm is rigorously enforced, as is the communicative nature of the event. Coach Kristie Pennock-Delgado has over 10 years of competitive debate experience. Tau Kappa Alpha National Tournament, and has won several national awards in Impromptu Speaking as well.
