North Texas Novice Celebration
2024 — The Colony, TX/US
Schedule
Tentative Schedule
Everyone gets 3 rounds of competition for their events. Instead of elimination rounds, winners will be determined based on the cumulative rankings/scores of the 3 rounds.
Note: Extemp Draw will be at the round start time, not 30 minutes early, and will be a combination of international and US topics as 1 division of competition. That will allow students to cross-enter in extemp and congress. Extemp Draw will take place in room A107.
Note: Congress sessions will be 80 minutes long so they end before the next round of competition.
Note: Informative is TFA/NSDA-style, not UIL extemp. DI, HI, OO, Congress, Info, and LD will follow TFA-style rules. Prose and Poetry will use the UIL time limits, but will not be limited by the UIL Categories.
Note: LD Debate will use the NSDA/TFA topic, not the UIL spring topic.
