National Educational Debate Association - Divisions

Divisions

Teams in NEDA compete in one of three categories:

  • Novice - Standard cross-examination format of debate for competitors who have participated in six or fewer tournaments ever (including high school).
  • Open - Standard cross-examination format debate for debaters who have competed at six or more tournaments.
  • Crossfire Debate - Developed from Ted Turner style televised debates, this format is more interactive, involves more cross-examination, and emphasizes succinct arguments that get to the heart of the issues quickly.
