——————————————————————————————————————

The NAMSDC has a few key differences from tournaments you're used to.

  • All teams allowed, including hybrids, unaffiliated, and clubs
  • Speaker points are now the last tiebreaker
  • Circuit Rating points based on performance
  • Enforced topicality (theory/K not allowed)
  • Specialized, monthly themed trophies
  • Grand Prix system
  • No division of entries between online and in-person
  • Badges for various achievements 

 

*some tournaments are automatically ending regardless of teams left in out-rounds. We will run Semis and Finals and declare a champion, unless a school closes out and prefers not to debate.
