• A competitive and intense national points race, with updates from tournaments like MBA, the TOC, NCFLs, and NSDA Nationals.

• More articles on a consistent basis! You can expect articles every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.
  
• The resumption of our podcast, and our YouTube channel. Both are also called the Extemper’s Bible, so check them out!
  
• A free, virtual camp, hosted in the summer of 2021. Expect top-tier talent to help with coaching.
  
• Questions that test your knowledge of the news; to check out these questions, follow our Instagram (@theextempersbible)! We’re currently taking a break, but plan to resume these questions on January 4th.
