Canadian National Debate Format (CNDF) is the style of debate commonly used at the Provincial and National levels of debate within Canada including the National Debating Championships. This 2v2 style focuses on the clear articulation of constructive material and persuasive strategies to respond to the opponent’s material.
World Schools Debate Format (Worlds) is the style of debate used around the world at numerous international events such as Harvard Schools and the World Schools Debating Championships. This 3v3 style is similar to CNDF with the addition of 3rd Speakers who seek to deepen rounds with additional clash and weighing. For those who are comfortable with CNDF, Worlds enriches a student’s learning with extended preparation time and the opportunity to debate more complex subject areas.
