The Debate Showcase is where the top 8 debaters from the tournament step up and show off their skills on the big stage. No small rooms here, this is front and center. The next best debaters roll as the Debate Panel, giving feedback, comments, and dropping knowledge after each round. It’s your chance to see elite debaters flex their brains, pick up new skills, and vibe with the energy of a huge crowd. Even if you’re just watching, you get to cheer and soak in all the debate hype. 

Run the Stage Right

​Debaters: 

​

• ​If you’re chosen for the Showcase, you made it, top 8! Nerves are normal, but you’ve earned this. Speak clearly, hold your ground, and trust your prep. The crowd’s rooting for you.

​

• Showcase ain’t just about winning, it’s about entertaining. Drop strong points, put funny examples, storytelling, or dramatic flair. The best debaters balance logic with creativity and keep the audience hooked.

​

• Big crowd means big ears, but fast talk loses people. Pause, emphasize, and make every word count. 

​

• Motions might be wild or unusual. No stress, think creatively, improvise smartly, and make bold arguments. Original ideas hit hard and the audience will eat it up.
