Prompts for Practice: National Online Forensics

At NOF, we pride ourselves on crafting unique prompts for our tournaments. Once a competition concludes, we believe in giving students the chance to continue honing their skills with these prompts outside the competitive arena.

Below, you'll find a collection of prompts from categories like Impromptu, SPAR, NOF Parli, and Extemporaneous from our most recent tournament. We trust these will serve as valuable practice material for your upcoming competitions!
