What Is NCFL Grand National Tournament?
The National Catholic Forensic League national speech and debate championship is scheduled May 29-30, 2027 in Minneapolis. Current high-school students qualify through local leagues and schools; no more than nine secondary-school semesters are allowed, and graduating students compete only in their graduation academic year. Home schools may join under league quotas. A school coach or moderator registers qualified competitors.
The 2027 announcement gives a $175 per-student tournament fee. School membership dues and local fees are separate from tournament entry, travel and lodging. Older pages show $100/$200 hotel-linked fees; confirm current hotel requirements and surcharges with the league before paying.
