New standings for the 2024-2025 Extemp Central National Points Race are have been posted!  These reflects the results of the National Catholic Forensic League (NCFL) Grand National Tournament.  Check them out by clicking here or the “Natl Points Race” tab above.

Robert Zhang of Elkins High School (TX) re-established himself as the National Points Race leader due to a semi-finalist showing at NCFL.

The final National Points Race tournament will take place next week at the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) National Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa.  Like last year, the tournament will decide the National Points Race champion.  Due to 12 of the top 25 extempers participating in International Extemp, that category will receive a 50 point bonus and a 10 point final round bonus, meaning that the winner of the category can earn up to 300 points.  In contrast, U.S. Extemp’s champion can only earn up to 250 points.
