Southern Wisconsin District Qualifier

for the 2019 National Tournament

World Schools Debate

World’s Debate:

The NSDA is offering World’s Debate again. To be eligible a student must compete in at least one event (debate, speech, interp, congress) and not qualify. Being a "debater" is not a prerequisite- the USA Debate team includes students to identify as extempers and orators as well. A student may prefer World schools debate on their Letter of Intent form.

We will be using a "method B" for selection- an open application process for any students. While the team (or teams if there is enough interest for us to request a second team) is a "district team" of 3-5 students the costs of the trip (registration, judge, travel, school approved chaperone) must be covered by the participating students or their schools.

Students must also be willing to commit to a preparation schedule in May and early June, so those needing to dedicate time to AP tests, finals, and NCFL prep should consider whether they have time to commit an additional event, as missing practice or not contributing to research is unfair to both those not selected and their teammates.

As registration forms for nationals is due in less than two weeks after qualifiers, a student should be committed to attending when they apply.

IF INTERESTED please email stephak88@yahoo.com with the names of all interested students along with a summary of their forensics/debate history/accomplishments, and what strengths they would bring to the team by March 31^st.

If multiple students from a school apply and spaces are limited, their coach may be asked the order in which they would select them for the team.
