CFL Information - The Charlotte league uses a season-long qualification system by which student competitors earn points based on their competition results in events hosted at speech and debate tournaments within the geographic area of the diocese. At the end of the competition season, the students with the most points earned in each separate event will qualify to attend the Grand National. The qualification system is open to all students of the 300+ high schools located within the diocese.
