The competing teams (three members each) will participate in a preliminary round of 4 virtual parliamentary-style debates. These debates will consist of 2 pre-assigned topics and 2 topics given on the spot. The virtual round winners will also be recognized and awarded irrespective of the in-person events.
The top 4 performing middle school teams and the top 4 performing high school teams will be invited to compete in the semifinals and finals at the ICNACON 2024 in-person.
In case a qualifying team is unable to attend the in-person semifinals/finals, their spot will be given to the next highest-ranking team. All topics for the semifinals and finals will be given on the spot. The final round will conclude with a recognition and awards ceremony.
