Welcome to the 2025 Carolina Comeback, a free speech & debate tournament hosted prior to the TFL State Championship.

Our speech tournament will run Saturday, March 22nd through Friday, March 28th asynchronously through the Tabroom.com platform. We anticipate every event at The Carolina Comeback being large enough to earn qualifying bids and legs ot the 2025 TFL State Championship. Bids are awarded based on the TFL Bid Qualification Method found at www.ncspeechanddebate.org.

Our debate tournament will feature two rounds on Saturday, March 22nd synchronously through the NSDA Campus platform. We want to give folks a chance to debate both sides of the March/April LD Resolution or the April PF Resolution.

We hope that The Carolina Comeback isn't just a great opportunity to get your final students qualified to the TFL State Championship, but is also a great opportunity for your students to gain much needed feedback from qualified adjudicators prior to the tournament.
