For the 2020 season, NCFCA will offer ten speech events which are divided into three main categories: Platform, Interpretation, and Limited Preparation Speeches. Each of these categories offers distinct opportunities for students to develop their communication skills.
TEAM POLICY DEBATE
The 2021 Team Policy Resolution:
Resolved:Â The European Union should substantially reform its immigration policy.
The goal of the Manus Oratorum TP Club is to provide a collaborative environment for our members whre they can share cases ideas, briefs, and flows for the duration of the debate season. To ensure that the club is efficeint and fair- please check out "Speech & Debate (TP & LD) Rules"
During a round of Team Policy Debate, a team of two debaters will advocate the resolution by proposing a specific plan to accomplish the goal stated in the resolution while another team of two debaters will oppose the topic.
LINCOLN DOUGLAS DEBATE
The Lincoln-Douglas debate format is one-on-one debating, named after the famous debates between Stephen Douglas and Abraham Lincoln.
The goal of the Manus Oratorum LD Club is to provide a collaborative environment for our members whre they can share cases ideas, briefs, and flows for the duration of the debate season. To ensure that the club is efficeint and fair- please check out "Speech & Debate (TP & LD) Rules"
Lincoln-Douglas debate resolutions are constructed to create a clash of competing values rather than the adoption of a specific policy.
