The '''Christian Speech & Debate League''', also known as the '''National Christian Forensics and Communications Association''', is a [[Individual events|speech]] and [[debate]] league for Christian students in the United States. The NCFCA was established in 2001 after outgrowing its parent organization, the [[Home School Legal Defense Association]] (HSLDA), which had been running the league since it was originally established in 1995. NCFCA is now organized under its own board of directors with regional and state leadership coordinating various tournaments throughout the season.

Since 2001, the NCFCA seeks to provide students with the opportunity to apply and communicate their worldview with skill and clarity through competitive debate. The mission of the organization is to "challenge and equip ambassadors for Christ to communicate truth with integrity and grace." As a Christian organization, NCFCA's statement of faith is the [[Nicene Creed]]. NCFCA claims that "...their training and competition will provide a supportive opportunity for them to apply a biblical worldview to real-life issues."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Rosa|first=Natalia|date=2020-09-09|title=NCFCA Christian Speech & Debate League|url=https://ncfca.org/|access-date=2021-07-26|website=ncfca.org|language=en-US}}</ref>

==Structure of the organization==
The NCFCA is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization. Tournaments are run by volunteers, who are usually parents, club directors, and league officials in the area. The judging pool includes parents of competitors, NCFCA alumni, and members of the community. Coaches also serve as judges on a volunteer basis. The NCFCA is governed by a board and divided into eleven regions. Each region has a regional coordinator and each state has a representative.

=== Regional Qualifiers and Regional Championship ===
===National Opens===
Each region hosts three "regional qualifiers," open to all competitors competing in Lincoln-Douglas, Team Policy, and speeches, between January and April. Competitors who advance from preliminary rounds to elimination rounds at any regional qualifier earn a slot at the regional championship, usually between April and May. Each region is allocated a certain number of national slots for a debate or speech event, according to the number of competitors nationally and regionally in a given event. As of the 2023 - 2024 season, there were 800 slots given out nationally for speech, and 120 slots for debate.
Additionally, a certain number of national invitational slots are awarded each year at competitions known as National Opens. Currently, each national open awards two nationals slots for every individual speech event and debate event and four slots for moot court. These are large tournaments held mostly at colleges or large convention centers and are open to the entire nation.<ref>{{cite news|title=Rhetoric team to participate in Texas National Open Tournament|newspaper=Huntsville Item|date=2 March 2008|url=http://itemonline.com/local/x212543609/Rhetoric-team-to-participate-in-Texas-National-Open-Tournament?keyword=topstory}}</ref> Qualifying at a National Open tends to be more difficult than a regional qualifying tournament because of their increased size.

===National Mixers===
National Mixers debuted in the 2017–2018 season and have been recalled for the 2022–2023 season. Mixers are competitions, now mostly online, incorporating competitors from two or more regions. They were officially known as March Mixer, because they only occurred in the month of March. As national level tournaments, they hosted moot court, but they only gave out one national championship slot in each individual event and debate event and two slots in moot court. In the first year, there were eight March Mixers, all occurring in the first two weeks of March. There was a mixer in a city inside every region except 1 and 3 (which are much smaller than the other eight regions). Because of the large number of mixers and their close proximity in time, most competitors went to only the mixer closest to their home in the first year even though they could technically attend any mixer in the country.

As of the 2022–2023 NCFCA season, there were two online Moot Court national mixers and one online national mixer. Mixers between two or more individual regions happened throughout the season, from January into March.

===Competition===
⚫
During the 2022-2023 season, there were roughly 38,000 speeches given, making the NCFCA the third largest national high school speech and debate league after the [[National Speech and Debate Association]] and the [[National Catholic Forensic League]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=NCFCA {{!}} Christian Speech & Debate League |url=https://ncfca.org/ |access-date=2023-10-18 |website=ncfca.org |language=en-US}}</ref>

==Speech==
The NCFCA offers ten [[individual events]] for speech from three categories: Platform (memorized, 10-minute speeches), Interpretation (short interpretations of written works), and Limited Preparation (impromptu or limited preparation speeches).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ncfca.org/?i=12690&mid=1000&id=311927 |title=Competition Results |website=Ncfca.org |access-date=2016-01-17}}</ref> The rules for each of these events are published in the Speech Guide each season.

Competitors may only compete in five out of the ten events at a given tournament.

At qualifier tournaments, competitors compete in three rounds of speech and are judged by three judges. Afterwards, the top competitors enter into elimination rounds.

As of the 2023-2024 NCFCA season, these events are:

* ''Platform:'' Persuasive, Informative, Digital Presentation
* ''Interpretation:'' Duo Interpretation, Open Interpretation, Biblical Thematic, Original Interpretation
* ''Limited Preparation:'' Apologetics, Extemperaneous, Impromptu

From 2002 to 2007 and 2013–2014, the NCFCA also provided a different '''Wildcard event''' each season:
*The 2002–2003 Wildcard was Duo Impromptu. Two competitors would randomly draw three pieces of paper with the words for a person, place, and thing. Then they would have four minutes to prepare a five-minute skit incorporating all three nouns.
*The 2003–2004 Wildcard was Impromptu Apologetics. It was later renamed Apologetics and has become a standard NCFCA event.
*The 2004–2005 Wildcard was Oratorical Interpretation. The competitor would interpret a famous and/or historical speech.
*The 2006–2007 Wildcard was Thematic Interpretation. Competitors select several pieces of literature and weave them around a common theme. Thematic interpretation became a standard event for the 2009–2010 and 2010–2011 seasons but was retired in July 2011, and became a standard event again for the 2013–2014 season.
*From 2007 to 2012, there were no new Wildcard events.
*The 2013–2014 Wildcard was [[After-dinner speaker|After-Dinner Speaking]], a sort of humorous, persuasive or informative speech.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ncfca.org/IEEventDescriptions |title=Speech and Debate Competition |website=Ncfca.org |date= |access-date=2016-01-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140729180945/http://www.ncfca.org/IEEventDescriptions |archive-date=2014-07-29 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
*The 2018–2019 wildcard event was Biblical Thematic. Competitors select several pieces of literature, including one biblical selection exceeding 300 words, and weave them around a common theme. Biblical interpretation became a standard event for the 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 season.
*The 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 wildcard event was Humorous Interpretation. Similar to Open Interpretation in both speech structure in execution, Humorous Interp. requires competitors to interpret a published literary selection with elements of humor, and allows for a self-authored introduction or conclusion.
*The 2023-2024 wildcard was the reintroduction of Original Interpretation and the removal of After Dinner Speeches.

NCFCA Christian Speech & Debate League
Formation1995[1]
HeadquartersMountlake Terrace, Washington, United States[2]
Websitencfca.org

The Christian Speech & Debate League, also known as the National Christian Forensics and Communications Association, is a speech and debate league for Christian students in the United States. The NCFCA was established in 2001 after outgrowing its parent organization, the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), which had been running the league since it was originally established in 1995. NCFCA is now organized under its own board of directors with regional and state leadership coordinating various tournaments throughout the season.

Structure of the organization

[edit]

The NCFCA is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization. Tournaments are run by volunteers, who are usually parents, club directors, and league officials in the area. The judging pool includes parents of competitors, NCFCA alumni, and members of the community. For moot court, the judging pool includes parents of competitors and members of the community with experience in law (e.g. attorneys, judges). Coaches also serve as judges on a volunteer basis. The NCFCA is governed by a board and divided into fourteen regions. Each region has a regional coordinator and each state has a representative.

Regional Qualifiers and Regional Championship

[edit]

Each region hosts three "regional qualifiers," open to all competitors competing in Lincoln-Douglas, Team Policy, and speeches, between January and April. Competitors who advance from preliminary rounds to elimination rounds at any regional qualifier earn a slot at the regional championship, usually between April and May. Each region is allocated a certain number of national slots for a debate or speech event, according to the number of competitors nationally and regionally in a given event. As of the 2023 - 2024 season, there were 800 slots given out nationally for speech, and 120 slots for debate.

Size

[edit]

During the 2022–2023 season, there were roughly 3,000 students participating, making the NCFCA the third largest national high school speech and debate league after the National Speech and Debate Association and the National Catholic Forensic League.[3]

Speech

[edit]

The NCFCA offers ten individual events for speech from three categories: Platform (memorized, 10-minute speeches), Interpretation (short interpretations of written works), and Limited Preparation (impromptu or limited preparation speeches).[4] The rules for each of these events are published in the Speech Guide each season.

Debate and Moot Court

[edit]

The NCFCA offers two types of debate: Team Policy Debate, Lincoln-Douglas Value Debate, as well as Moot Court.[5] The NCFCA discourages the use of overly complicated theory and extremely fast talking (also known as "spreading"), instead encouraging effective communication of complex topics to lay judges.[6]

At tournaments, competitors speak in six rounds and are judged by one judge in preliminary rounds. In elimination rounds, competitors are judged by three judges and are judged by five judges in the qualifier tournament final.

  • Team Policy (TP): A policy-centered debate, with rounds typically lasting 90 minutes. Two teams of two competitors form the 'Affirmative' and 'Negative' sides to the debate, with the Affirmative arguing for a reform to the system and the Negative arguing against it. The debate is set by a resolution that is published before a season starts. The resolution for the 2024–25 season centers around reforming U.S. foreign policy towards Central America.[7] The resolution includes input from competitors and typically alternates between domestic and international policy.
  • Lincoln-Douglas (LD): A value-centered debate, with rounds lasting around 45 minutes. Two competitors form the 'Affirmative' and 'Negative' sides to the debate, with the Affirmative affirming the validity of the resolution and the Negative negating it. As in Team Policy, the debate is governed by a resolution affirming one value above another. The resolution for the 2024 - 2025 is "in combat, the use of automation ought to be valued above the use of military personnel."[7]
