BREAKING – Board suspends vote – will keep this year’s topic one more year
Just got an interesting email on the IE-L regarding next year’s NFA-LD topic… … The NFA-LD committee has just finished receiving results from the 2010-2011 coaches NFA-LD survey that was sent out two weeks ago to all active NFA member schools. Apparently, preliminary results indicate that a majority of debaters have decided against engaging the [...]
1st Workshop vodcast
Down at the coach’s conference, I was talking with Danny about putting together some videos to make a kind of “virtual workshop” that this site could use in the place of traditional workshops. The traditional ones are great, but in addition to travel times and hosting stress, we also have the problem of some schools [...]

2009 NFA-LD Debate Cooperative Evidence Set
The 2009 NFA-LD Debate Cooperative Evidence Set is available for download. You can download the file at: http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~forensics/2009 NFA-LD Debate Cooperative Evidence Set.pdf Last year, I heard a few complaints that the camp evidence was still being relied on late into the season. My advice is to not let that happen this year. This year’s [...]

NFA-LD summer day camp at RCC (Riverside, CA)
It is my pleasure to offer a jumpstart to the NFA-LD year with a FREE day camp at RCC. I know what you are thinking. It is hot. It is really hot. But we will have A/C. The first RCC summer LD camp will take place over four days. The camp is open to all [...]
LD summer day camp at RCC
Good news. I can get four or five classrooms reserved, with A/C, on the RCC campus for the week of August 17, 10-6 PM. I am pretty sure the campus is operational but deserted, so we could stay longer if we wanted to. That being said, I can draft a schedule for a workshop. This [...]
2009 NFA-LD Cooperative

The camp is returning this year, but in a slightly modified form. The camp will be hosted by Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio. Because of the new site, [...]
