New standings for the 2024-2025 Extemp Central National Points Race are have been posted!  These reflects the results of the various Tournament of Champions (TOC) events in April and May:  the University of Kentucky TOC, Extemp TOC, and the National Individual Events TOC.  Check them out by clicking here or the “Natl Points Race” tab above.

There is a new National Points Race leader as Extemp TOC champion Daphne Kalir-Starr of the College Preparatory School (CA) now has a slim 2 point lead over former points leader Robert Zhang of Elkins High School (TX).  Zhang was inactive during the TOC swing, contributing to his fall from the top spot.

No rest exists for the weary in the post-season as this weekend’s National Catholic Forensic League (NCFL) Grand National Tournament takes place in Chicago.  It is the second to last stop in this year’s National Points Race, awarding 150 points to the national champion and points to all elimination round participants.
