Dear Forensics Community,

Building upon the success of last year’s online championships, National Online Forensics is excited to announce the 2022 National Online Forensics Championships for College, High School, Middle School, and Elementary.   This will be a synchronous video conference national championship tournament. 

 Tournament Dates:

National Online Forensics sees a tremendous value in an online national championship that can afford more competitors and programs the opportunity to compete and showcase their skills on a national level.

Key Points:

• Registration is due by the Sunday before the tournament at 8pm Pacific time on ForensicsTournament.net

• Reasonable entry fees payable by credit card on the website.

• competitors will need to compete with the authorization and support of their school’s coaching staffs.  No independent competitor entries will be accepted. 

• Each school is required to provide one judge for every 5 IE entries per pattern/2 debate teams. At the discretion of the Tournament Director, uncovered entries may be allowed (penalty fees apply).

• The tournament will use synchronous video conferencing on the 8x8 platform. Please see the Best Practices section of this invite for tips on how to effectively use the platform.

• There will be a single championship division for all events.

• Public Forum topic: Resolved: The United States should establish a comprehensive bilateral trade agreement with Taiwan.
