How are debate topics chosen?
A Debate topics are selected by the National Forensics League. For Policy debate (2 on 2), the same topic is used all year. For public forum debate (2 on 2), the topic changes each month. For Lincoln Douglas (1 on 1), the topic changes every other month. Students do not know which side they will argue until just before the round. Students must be prepared to argue both sides of the issue, regardless of their personal beliefs.
