National Christian Forensics and Communications Association - Debate

Debate

The NCFCA offers two types of debate — policy debate and Lincoln-Douglas debate. As the purpose of the NCFCA is to train good communicators, not just good debaters, the use of complicated theory and extremely fast talking (also known as "speed and spread") is discouraged. This is accomplished through the judging paradigm. Tournaments employ a mixed pool of judges, but are mostly made up of lay judges. NCFCA debaters are therefore forced to communicate to all levels of judges.
