National Online Forensics (Mar 15)
March 15 @ 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM
TBD
National Online Forensics League
(March 15, 2025)
They are hosting an “online/virtual” debate event…
Day/Date: Saturday, March 15, 2025
Time: 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM (Eastern, Approximate)
Location: Online (8×8 = Forensics Tournament).
Forensics Tournament (Link): https://forensicstournament.net/walnut/25
Debate Events: Public Forum (Novice, JV, & Varsity), and Lincoln Douglas (Novice, JV, & Varsity).
Note: They typically offer an elementary division for grades 3-5.
Event Requirements:
1.) Note = no tabroom.com account for this event (it uses your email).
2.) We must provide adult volunteer judges (adults = 18+).
3.) We must have a parent volunteer to remain for the entire “online” event.
Cost: $40-50 depending on how many participants we have. $100+ without volunteer judges.
I will try to get an estimate soon – it will be slightly expensive (very expensive if we hire a judge).
