OATS PRESENTS ASC
March 20-24, 2024
ASC, or the Asynchronous Speech Championship, is an opportunity to recognize the excellent work done throughout the year at asynchronous tournaments. We know that some students simply cannot participate in national tournaments requiring multiple days of travel and competition. We know the physical demands and the inability to work during those times make national competition impossible for synchronous tournaments. ASC exists for those students who still want to see where they land on the national scale in a championship competition but who may not be able to travel or compete in synchronous ways.
ASC will take place in March (March 20-24, 2024)

ASC Core Values
Accessibility All students, regardless of physical, mental, or other ability, deserve the chance to compete in national championships. The tournament was designed to be as accessible as possible for as many people as possible.
Sustainability Forensic competitions historically have been sites where sustainability is lauded, but practices are not always engaged in the tournament spaces. From plastic in awards to the carbon footprint associated with the travel to tournaments, forensic tournaments do not always exist in ways that promote sustainability. This tournament aims to embrace sustainability practices.
