New Mexico District Qualifier

for the 2025 National Tournament

World Schools Debate Application

About World Schools Debate

World Schools Debate is a three-on-three format. While a given team may consist of five members, only three students from a team participate in a given debate. Resolutions come in two types: prepared motions and impromptu motions. Teams will be assigned one of two sides in each round- either the government team proposing the motion or the opposition team advocating the rejection of the motion. Debaters present their position on a topic, refute their opponents, and respond to questions throughout the course of the debate.

Application Process

Students interested in being considered for a spot on one of the two 5-person World Schools Debate teams to represent New Mexico at the National Tournament should fill out the following World Schools Debate Application linked below and submit it to their coach.
