Welcome to the SSIS 2024 Fall Public Forum Debate Invitational website! We are really looking forward to seeing you participate in this tournament on November 23rd, 2024. Public Forum (PF) debate is a style of debate that falls under the National Speech and Debate Association's umbrella of speech and debate events. Here at the SSIS Debate Club we primarily compete in this debate format and we would love to see you be a part of our PF community.  

You can find all the information about this tournament below and some resources to help you get started with PF. If you have any questions about PF debate or this tournament, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at ssisdebateclub@gmail.com.

Our resolution (topic) is the winning NSDA's November Public Forum Resolution. 

Resolved: The United States should substantially reduce its military support of Taiwan.

The tabroom registration deadline for this tournament is November 15, 2024. Please remember that PF debate requires teams of two, so please find a partner before you register. For every two teams from a school, you must provide a judge or pay the judging fee. For instance, if your school has four teams, you will need to provide two judges.
