Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) is the largest intercollegiate debate association in the United States.

[edit] History

CEDA was founded in 1971 as the Southwest Cross Examination Debate Association. Originally begun as a split from the National Debate Tournament (NDT), CEDA has reunified to where they cooperate with NDT and the American Debate Association to have a joint topic for the school year. CEDA typically uses a Policy Debate format.
