PFDebate.com is a new endeavor of two dedicated debate coaches, teachers, and researchers. We have decades of experience on the national circuit of Policy Debate at the high school and collegiate levels. On top of our own competitive success as Policy Debaters, we have consistently taught some of the brightest and most successful debaters in the nation, and we have had the fortune of working with some of the best coaches around. Over the past few years, we have both transitioned to focus much of our coaching on Public Forum Debate. We are dedicated to the continued growth of the event, both in terms of participants and quality of argument, while maintaining the original design envisioned by the National Forensic League. We are committed to providing high quality resources designed to assist Public Forum Debaters across the country, regardless of region. After all, Public Forum was meant to be an event that could reach the general public. While that may shape your choice of arguments, it shouldn't mean your topic knowledge should be limited in any significant way.

The re-launch of PFDebate.com came in Summer 2012 under new ownership. We think you'll like our vision of the site moving forward. We will continue to work over the coming months and years to develop new options for improving our offerings. We have exciting plans in store, and we will remain dedicated to listening to your needs.
