2019 PSCFA Fall Championship Results

Debate

December 6-7, 2019 – 2019 PSCFA Fall Championship – Moorpark College

Despite only competing on two of the three days of the PSCFA Fall Champs held at Moorpark College this past weekend, and not entering any individual events, ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç’s Debaters won Second Place Sweepstakes in the 4 year university division, competing against 36 colleges and universities, from as far away as Virginia, losing to First Place University of Utah.

And although two of our best tournaments are not yet counted in the national rankings, ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç parliamentary debaters are again ranked in the top 7 NPDA schools in the country.  Based on our preliminary calculations, Point Loma has amassed more points than University of the Pacific, which is currently shown as the number one school in the nation.  But in fairness, they might also have tournaments that are not yet counted, as might other top contenders. Hopefully, NPDA will calculate these midyear results soon.

Eight of ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç’s ten parliamentary debate teams advanced to the first elimination round in Parliamentary Debate. In the Open Division, ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç was in 5 of the 8 Bronze Rounds. 4 of the 8 teams advanced to the Gold/Silver round. Here are the results below.
