Invitational Model

National Invitation Model: Two Green Checks

Two Green Check next to your name in a NITOC event means you will receive an invitation to NITOC in that event. Green checks are given only to those students achieving these levels at Stoa tournaments that have met our Stoa minimum tournament standards.

Green Checks are defined as:

Speech

• For all speech events except Impromptu, students who rank in the top 40% at a tournament will receive a green check. For impromptu, students will need to rank in the top 25% to receive a green check.

Debate

• Students who rank in the top 38% of any debate field at a tournament will receive a green check.

NOTE:  For Duo Interpretation, Team Policy, and Parliamentary Debate, only teams may be invited to NITOC. In other words, a student may not receive an invitation with one partner and then compete at NITOC with a different partner. If a student receives an invitation with two different partners in the same event, he/she must choose with which partner to compete.
