“Balanced teams, both in terms of preparation before debates and contributions within a debate, help provide a competitive advantage during tournaments… Public Forum students must be prepared to debate in front of judges without formal debate training. Being able to persuade a range of judges is a central component to this event. Additionally, PF is focused upon debating varying resolutions that change frequently, which exposes students to a variety of topics during a singular competitive season” – NSDA
