National Invitatitional Tournament of Champions (NITOC)
Speak boldly. Change the world for Christ. This is Stoa's mission. To accomplish it, we proudly conduct the annual National Invitational Tournament of Champions- NITOC. Hosted by Christian universities, Stoa invites 600 top-ranked homeschool competitors and their families from across the nation for a week of stellar speech and debate competition. Stoa uses the open and public Speechranks website to determine invitations to NITOC. Stoa tournaments must meet specific minimum criteria for competitions as specified on the Speechranks website.
