League Policies

1. NCFCA speech events are divided into two patterns for each tournament and the patterns take place at different times, usually between rounds of debate. Speech Rounds designated with an A (1A, 2A, & 3A) will include the events in Pattern A, and Speech Rounds with a B (1B, 2B, and 3B) will include the events in Pattern B. During elimination rounds, all speech events are run simultaneously.

   • For in-person tournaments, the patterns may vary and can be found at the Information tab for the tournament. 
   • All online tournaments, the following patterns will apply.
     • Pattern A: Apologetics, Digital Presentation, Duo, Informative, and Original
     • Pattern B: Biblical Thematic, Extemporaneous, Impromptu, Open, and Persuasive
