Dear Forensics Community,
We are excited to welcome you to our 2023-2024 Regular Season online tournaments. These monthly synchronous and asynchronous tournaments are a great way to prepare your competitors for Nationals & afford extra rounds to competitors on your team. A condensed three preliminary and one final round schedule ensures competitors get the practice they need without the hassle of waiting around all day for rounds. Save money with $0 travel costs. Run by experienced tournament directors, these tournaments are sure to be some of the best online tournaments your competitors attend all year.
The tournaments will offer competition at all levels, from kindergarten to college, in a wide range of events. We have the very best qualified tournament staff assembled to ensure a smooth day of fun competition. Winners will receive Bronze/Silver/Gold medals.
Key Points:
-
Each school is required to provide one judge for every 5 entries. At the discretion of the Tournament Director, uncovered entries may be allowed but penalty fees will apply.
-
A complete list of NOF rules can be found here.
We hope you and your team can join us throughout the season. If you have any questions please feel free to email us at info@nationalonlineforensics.org
