Convenor/ tab director : Eunju Seo
Welcome debaters to the Jeju Forensics Network Online Debating Championship 2021! As one of the founding members for this competition, it is my greatest pleasure to invite you to the second annual holding of JFNODC. Logic is a vital facet not only in debate, but also in terms of giving an active critique towards our contemporary society! Many might think that this competition is only for the intermediate debaters, but there is indeed a prospect to achieve exceptional results from all of you. The foremost thing for you, debaters, is to enjoy and portray all your critical thinking! I hope every debater will be able to create a personal and unique experience at JFNODC 2021. Feel free to reach out at secretariat.jfnodc@gmail.com for any questions:) |

Deputy Chief Adjudicator : Chaiyeon (Erica) Kang
Hello debaters! I’m Erica Kang, a sophomore at Phillips Academy Andover. I have been a passionate debater for six years, mainly competing in the Asian Parliamentary format. Ever since I got to Andover, I have been expanding my spectrum to British Parliamentary, Oregon debate, and so on. I’m a newbie just as some of you are! As an adjudicator for the first JFNODC, I was thrilled to have a chance to take a role as the DCA. Amidst the pandemic, primarily due to lack of tournaments for younger adolescents, we decided to provide an online opportunity for students to continue their debate careers. Please take full advantage of this tournament, and always have fun with your friends online! Our team isn’t as scary as you might think, so don’t be discouraged to ask any questions - even the ones you think are dumb :)

Contemplating the solution to world poverty in your pajamas. Discussing the impacts of COVID-19 with a friend in quarantine. Spitting all over your computer instead of your opponent's face. Enjoy your new debating experience with Inpodium, the Debating Society of NLCS Jeju.
