Top Gun XI - How We Did It

Baylor Law's Top Gun XI was the nation's first-ever completely virtual mock trial competition. During the preparation, coordination, and implementation of this year's tournament, the team at Baylor Law gained an incredible insight into what works and what doesn't as it relates to hosting a live, online competition.

Given the status of the Covid-19 pandemic, we believe sharing this valuable information is to the benefit of the advocacy community as a whole. Hopefully, it will help others plan and execute their own potential online competitions in the Fall of 2020 and possibly the Spring of next year.
