The National Christian Forensics and Communications Association (NCFCA), will host a regional tournament for over 125 homeschooled high school students from six states at Faith Lutheran Church, 601 E Glendale Appleton. Students will compete in two styles of debate and 11 speech events.

Hundreds of judges from the community, with or without any speech and debate experience, are needed to provide feedback for our students. Volunteers can sign up to judge one round or as many as their schedule allows. A round takes about three hours and includes a short judge orientation, the round itself, and time to fill out the ballot. Validation of community service hours is available upon request. Free parking and refreshments provided.

Volunteers can sign up to judge at NCFCAJudges.com by clicking on Wisconsin, then select “Region VI Championship.”
Please note: Judges for the tournament must be at least 18 years old out of high school.
