NSDA Springboard Scrimmages

As an additional competitive opportunity and chance to practice, the NSDA is again offering a series of practice scrimmages via the NSDA Springboard Series. These scrimmages are hosted online on NSDA Campus. Students are responsible for securing their own resources and materials for competing in these scrimmages, including a place to compete from.

Students compete in their main Speech, Debate, or Congress events (including World Schools Debate) in a single practice round.

This is a great tournament for students to practice online competition, different judging pools, and observe additional competitors!

Note: Students must secure judging in order to compete in these scrimmages. AAS&D assistant coaches will not provide judging for these. This is a great place for parents to learn how to judge and receive judge training, or for juniors/seniors with at least 250 honor points to gain experience with judging if they are willing to complete the online training to support our students!

Specific event information, schedule, and other pertinent tournament information are available on NSDA’a website and the specific Tabroom.com links for each scrimmage:
