2009 Summer Debate Contest

In a display of inter-region collaboration, The East Pacific and Equilism are co-hosting the 2009 Summer Debate Contest. The event will take place on *both* forums, and promises to be a fun and organized event, and you can sign up for it by following the link below!


The premise is simple. Two people will be selected at random to debate a particular subject. They will each be told which side to take (for or against). Consideration will be given to difficult stances. Judges will be appointed (myself included), excluding them from contest play. Judges will create some type of rubric by which they grade the participants and their debating skill for the particular debate in question.


The basic setup for the debate is as follows:
Quote:
 
Opening by Team A.
Opening by Team B. Followed by:
Counterarguments of Team B on team As opening.
Counterarguments of Team A on team Bs opening.
Another round of countering each other.
-End of debate-



Those who go on to win a particular debate will face a new debate with another announced stance the participants are to take. Winner is the person who wins the final debate.


Prizes (kind of what I have going in my signature) will be awarded to the fourth, third, second, and first place debaters. I hope that this turns out well, and more details will be given out as they are ironed out.


Sign up for the debate contest here! - please do this as soon as you can, so I know to include you in all the updates!
