Cross Examination Debate Association - Topic Selection
Welcome to CEDA Topic

You have arrived at the home for all matters pertaining to the consideration and selection of topics for the intercollegiate policy debate community. CEDA (The Cross Examination Debate Association) is the host of this process.

A CEDA committee, comprised of CEDA officers, at larger members and representatives from the NDT (National Debate Tournament) and ADA (American Debate Association) work within a procedure mandated by the CEDA constitution to produce topic ballots for community consideration.

This process produces the single proposition (or resolution) that guides all intercollegiate policy debate for the competitive season. This site will serve as the host for both resources and discussion both about the topics and the process used to determine these topics.

We are now reviewing controversy papers submitted in consideration for the 2008-09 topic. A list of the submitted papers is available. The topic selection committee is reviewing these papers in order to produce the slate of options that will appear on a community ballot. Community input is very much appreciated. Please provide your perspective on the CEDA Blog.

After the community selects the controversy, the topic selection committee will meet on the University of Texas-Dallas campus from June 2-4. The committee meetings will begin after the CEDA summer business meetings conclude on the morning of June 2nd. We are using the The Westin Park Central, Dallas as the official hotel for the meetings. You can contact them at 12720 Merit Drive. Dallas, Texas 75251, United States Phone: (972) 385-3000. All meetings will be webcasted.
