HARD RESET

Hard reset. Every student leaves able to construct debate from first principles.

When students reach our conclusions on their own, the work is done.

Two tracks: Team Policy and Lincoln-Douglas. No varsity / novice split. Four focused hours per evening, 6:00 to 10:00 PM.

OPTIONS · 02
PICK A SCOPE

Two ways in.

Option A is the full four-day camp. Option B compresses the core into one day.

OPTION A · RECOMMENDED

Full Camp · 4 days

The whole roadmap. Architecture, rebuttal, resolution analysis, delivery. Multiple judged rounds with written feedback.

4 DAYS · 6:00 – 10:00 PM
OPTION B

One-Day Workshop

The core, compressed. One day. Useful before a roster commits to the full cycle.

    METHOD · 03
    WHY IT WORKS

    Two tracks, one logic.

    Both teach the same underlying logic.

    LD
    TRACK

    Lincoln-Douglas

    The value syllogism. Categorical truths defended in five minutes. Sharpens impact calculus and comparison.

    TP
    TRACK

    Team Policy

    Stock issues. Specific affirmatives stress-tested across the round. Sharpens warrant depth and structure.

    FORMAT
    WHY EVENINGS

    Four hours beats seven.

    Full-day camps run 6-7 hours. The first four are instruction. The last two to three are games, decompression, and cognitive fatigue. Students stop absorbing around hour four regardless of what is on the schedule.

    We cut the filler and kept the instruction.

    Four focused evening hours with students who just ate dinner is more effective than a 9-5 where the afternoon is largely recovery. This is not a constraint we are working around. It is a format we chose.

    Eat dinner before you arrive.

    FAQ · 04
    ASKED & ANSWERED

    Questions we hear.

    Honest answers to the obvious ones. Send the rest through the form below.

    • CAMP · Q01
      Do I need debate experience?
      MERIDIAN · A01
      No. It is a hard reset with no varsity or novice split. Everyone rebuilds from first principles.
    • CAMP · Q02
      TP or LD, which track?
      MERIDIAN · A02
      Pick your format. Both teach the same underlying logic. LD sharpens impact calculus, TP sharpens warrant depth.
    • CAMP · Q03
      Why start over if I already compete?
      MERIDIAN · A03
      We teach the logic that generates technique, not templates. The goal is that you reach our conclusions on your own.
    • CAMP · Q04
      How intense is it?
      MERIDIAN · A04
      Four focused hours per evening. You leave tired, not fried.
    • CAMP · Q05
      Why evening sessions?
      MERIDIAN · A05
      We run evenings to protect the quality of instruction. We do not compromise the product to fill a schedule. Four focused hours outperforms seven hours of diminishing returns.
    • CAMP · Q06
      How long are sessions?
      MERIDIAN · A06
      Four focused hours per evening, 6:00 to 10:00 PM. No filler, no burnout. Eat dinner before you arrive.
    • CAMP · Q07
      Will online instruction work?
      MERIDIAN · A07
      Yes. Online instruction is how the NCFCA coaching industry has operated for years. Every remote coach, every Ziggy tournament, every sourced brief - the league is built on it. The difference with Meridian is that online is paired with higher selection standards, not lower ones. We are more selective precisely because we are not in the room.
    • CAMP · Q08
      What can I actually do by the end?
      MERIDIAN · A08
      Place any argument on the causality and time grid, run comparative impact calculus, and deliver four-point refutation live.
    • CAMP · Q09
      Camp or the one-day workshop?
      MERIDIAN · A09
      Camp is the full roadmap with multiple practice rounds, debriefs, track splits, and a delivery day. The workshop compresses the core into one session with a single practice round.
