Event Description:

Public Forum involves opposing teams of two, debating a topic concerning a current event. Proceeding a coin toss, the winners choose which side to debate (PRO or CON) OR which speaker position they prefer (1st or 2nd), and the other team receives the remaining option. Students present cases, engage in rebuttal and refutation, and also participate in a “crossfire” (similar to a cross examination) with the opportunity to question the opposing team.

Public Forum will debate the NSDA MARCH 2023 resolution. Do NOT prepare the February resolution!

Note: The Steven Davis Invitational will utilize the NSDA Rules in Public Forum Debate.
