Practice Rounds
Our judges will watch, record, and flow your entire round. Prior to the round we will send out an intake form so you can request certain styles (Progressive, Tech, Lay etc) or to focus on a particular aspect (word economy, coverage, etc). Our judges will provide feedback on each speech and an RFD. The flow, recording, and feedback will be sent together after the round for students to review as needed. $119 is the cost for the round for a maximum of 4 students. 1 v2 or 1v1 debates are also permitted. At this moment we do not have the ability to find teams for you to practice so you must provide all the debaters.
