Competing with Integrity 

As we head into the Regional Championship season, the energy is building—and for good reason.

 

Every qualified student has already achieved something significant through hard work, perseverance, and growth. At each of the 14 tournaments, preparation meets opportunity: Regional Champions will be awarded in every event and National Championship slots will be extended to the top competitors.

 

This is a good time of year to remember that in NCFCA, success isn’t just about advancing—it’s about how you compete. We expect every competitor to maintain the highest level of resilience and integrity, encouraging others and demonstrating grace. It also means keeping the spirit of the competition, honoring the rules, and respecting all competitors and judges.

 

Whether you earn a national qualification or compete in your final round of the season, make it count. We can’t wait to see what you accomplish.

 

Go, and compete well! 

10 Debate Slots Added for Nationals!

We’re excited to announce that 10 additional debate slots have been added for the NCFCA National Championship!

 

The percentage allocation for each NCFCA debate style will remain the same, ensuring consistent representation for both Policy and Value debate.
