Carolina West District Qualifier

for the 2023 National Tournament

World Schools Application

Here is a link to the application for Carolina West World Schools Debate team for the NSDA National Tournament which will be held in Phoenix June 11-16, 2023.

World Schools Debate is a format in which teams of 3-5 debate a combination of prepared motions (for which we will research and write cases) and impromptu motions (which are released 1 hour prior to the round and require students to prepare using only teammates' knowledge).

The coaches of the World Schools Teams will review the applications and select 10 students to populate the two World Schools Teams (5 competitors each), plus three alternates.

You may submit an application for any students who did not qualify in another NSDA event OR who preferenced World Schools on their Single Entry Letter of Intent. Please be sure that each student is committed to competing in World Schools Debate (researching cases, attending practices, etc.), as the goal is to form highly competitive teams.

Coaches are limited to the submission of 4 applications per school.

Please ask students to complete the short response questions independently, and send them to you; coaches should input their answers and complete the coach portion of the application. Applications will only be accepted from a coach email address. Please also "seed" your students as #1 = top choice, #2 = second choice, etc. for being a member on the World Schools Team.

As per NSDA rules, World Schools competitors may register for supplemental and consolation events.

Applications are due Friday, March 31st at 11:59 pm. Late applications cannot be considered.

If you have any questions, please contact Megan Butt (megan.butt@charlottelatin.org).
