National Online Forensics (Dec 21)

National Online Forensics League
(December 21, 2024)

They are hosting an “online/virtual” debate event… 

Day/Date: Saturday, December 21, 2024
Time: 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM (Approximate)
Location: Online (8×8 = Forensics Tournament).
Forensics Tournament (Link): https://forensicstournament.net/pine/24

Debate Events: Public Forum (Novice, JV, & Varsity), and Lincoln Douglas (Novice, JV, & Varsity).
Public Forum (NSDA): Resolved: The United States should substantially reduce its military support of Taiwan.
Lincoln Douglas (NSDA): Resolved: The United States ought to adopt a wealth tax.
Prizes: They will offer prizes (medallions/trophies) for the top teams and speakers.+

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).
