N129 - Walt Whitman - Rachel Umans & Tom Niblock
N152 - Okoboji - Melissa Osman & Leah Hilsabeck
N202 - Wayzata SW - ? & ?

Please help us fill in the gaps by commenting on this post to add additional information.

Check-in at NFL Nationals begins today and competition gets under way tomorrow. PFDebate is not in Las Vegas, but we will be doing our best to follow along from home. We have asked Public Forum Debate participants to de-cloak by sending us their code, names, and school so that we can help provide meaning to everyone following at a distance.

Victory Briefs Daily and Georgia Forensics are providing on-site coverage of the tournament and are also working on breaking codes.
