NITOC Prep Camp
You want to compete your best at NITOC. Your preparation can make or break high level rounds. We want to help you maximize the quality of your content and presentation to every degree possible. In a content-packed 6+ hours, we'll break down the main frameworks, value structures, applications, and philosophies you'll see at NITOC, discuss the strongest arguments on both sides of the resolution, and practice the exact drills that coach Charis Baker credits much of her national LD speaking championship to. Plus, open Q+A is always encouraged!
Having written 6 cases and edited countless more on the NITOC resolution and coached over 50 students on this resolution alone, Charis has a strong holistic understanding of the resolution that you need to win on at NITOC. And, she wants you to be able to compete at your very best!

Practice Tournament
To implement the responses and arguments they gained in prep camp and to practice executing new strategies before NITOC, students can register to participate in our optional practice tournament. There will be two rounds directly following bootcamp and each student will have the opportunity to debate as affirmative and as negative. Rounds will be judged so that students can receive feedback. Judges will have an optional 15min of verbal feedback at the end of each round.
Round 1: 1:00-2:00pm CT
Round 2: 2:15pm-3:15pm CT
Judging: Each student must register a judge over age 18 and graduated from high school for one round. The judge must have previous experience judging LD debate. Judges can opt to provide verbal feedback in addition to their RFD.
Cost: $8
