NCCFI Friends and Colleagues: 

Back in November 1996, a few coaches from Christian colleges came together at the National Communication Association convention to discuss whether or not it would be a good idea to hold a forensics tournament. In February 1998, 12 schools attended the inaugural NCCFI.

We hope you and your team will join us for the 24th annual National Christian College Forensics Invitational to be held virtually on March 25-28 through Speechwire and Yaatly. The tournament is open to schools who are members of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities or schools that have a mission statement that is supportive and sympathetic to the mission of Christian higher education. This tournament is a unique opportunity to celebrate our heritage as Christians in forensics.

We are still looking for hosts for 2023 and beyond. We would encourage your school to consider submitting a bid to host the tournament. Bid forms are on the NCCFA website. Ideal locations have a large enough campus for 50-60 rooms at a time, a location fairly close to a major airport, located in a town with some large hotels with decent rates. Hosts typically spend less than it might take them to fly to a location several hours away. Please contact Chris Leland if interested. We hope to present proposals at the Business Meeting.

One change that has not yet been put into the invitation: We will be using flex time for parliamentary debate this year.
