Frequently Asked Questions
Is camp for Lincoln Douglas (LD) Debaters only? Camp is geared towards the LD format, and the scrimmage on Day 3 is only LD debate. However, we think that the information and techniques taught at camp are intrinsic to all forms of debate, so we welcome debaters from Policy and Public Forum (PF) to camp. Policy and PF debaters are welcome to participate in the Day 3 tournament as LD entries.
