League Policies
Competition material in debate should align with the NCFCA mission and uphold each competitor’s witness for Christ. Great care and sensitivity should be exercised as sources and content for use in competition are considered and presented.
- Any debate speech which will contain potentially intense or sensitive themes or examples must be preceded by this disclaimer: “The debate content in the next speech contains potentially intense or sensitive material.” The speaker should then allow any time necessary for audience members to exit the room if they choose.
- Any debate content which advocates a position counter to the Foundational Beliefs of the league will not be allowed in competition.
- Vulgarity and sexually explicit content are never acceptable. Vulgarity includes explicit or implied language or gestures which are inappropriate, obscene, or profane.
