Why Join?
This organization is dedicated to providing quality speech and debate competitions at the national level. The NCFL offers a wide variety of competition events and the tournaments are held in venues across the country. The Grand National Tournament is always held during Memorial Day weekend.
Benefits for students
Competing with students from all over the country exposes participants to a wide variety of styles and materials. The three judges in each of the four (speech/interp) or five (debate) rounds on Saturday will each provide written critiques of every performance, guaranteeing twelve or fifteen ballots from a diverse pool of judges. Students participating in the Grand National Tournament not only have the chance to see the best, they have the chance to be the best...in the nation!
