Poll: Debate or Speech? - nick94 - 04-28-2009
Just wondering if anyone here did Debate or Speech events with any national organization, NCFCA, NFCA, etc... If you do do Speech or Debate post how long you have done it.

NCFCA! I did debate and impromptu speaking. I LOVE impromptu speaking.

I like to say that I did both.
I did a lot of speeches and debates when I was an Army Recruiter. I did many, many speeches at Universities/Colleges, High Schools, Town Hall meetings, Job Fairs, VIP visits, etc. The debating came in when all the Services came together. I guess I used to debate with the other services as we were all recruiting from the same area, trying to convince people how our service was better.

Oh, I think that counts. I would say real life speaking and debating counts for a lot more than competing in a league. Not to discount competing... it's great experience! But unless you put it into practice in real life, there's not much point.
I got to refresh my impromptu recently... I was at an event and the lady scheduled to speak for the organization I was with was late. So I had about 3 minutes notice to get up and talk. It was fun.

That sounds like fun! I cannot wait for the next year of competing to start!

I just got back from an NCFCA competition. I did debate with NCFCA for four years and speech for five.
It is exhausting but very profitable. I love impromptu as well, bkbarden.

What Region were you with? And what competition did you just go to?

I just realized that I never said that I did speech and debate. :eek:
This was my first year doing Speech and Debate and for those of you who know debate jargon my partner and I did very well. We broke at a tournament and had a 12 wins/12 losses record. If you're wondering I am in California!

That's great! Congratulations.
That's an awful lot of rounds... 24??? Must have been a big tournament. Or was that ballots?

Sorry for the confusion, bad placement of that sentence. I meant 24 rounds all year.
