Round 3 This house believes that democracies should ban political parties with militant wings from participating in elections. Last round tonight! See you in the morning.
Some clarification about setting debates after round 1. Also no speaker point ties. We are using the 30 point APDA speaker scale, which is always tough to adapt to, at least for me. This House would criminalize depictions of the prophet Mohammed.
Looks like round 3 will happen tonight!
This House supports the payment of reparations to descendants of slaves.

Hello!
I will be updating from the Yale IV. 132 teams in the tab, and the photo is of the judge briefing room. Round one is about to be posted. Three today, two tomorrow and a break to quarterfinals. Comment if you would like to know anything specific, I’ll try my best to find out.
A view of the trophies, glad to see wine involved!
Several tournament announcements were made, as well as a call to participate in a comprehensive survey on the role of women in Canadian debate. Sounds like a pretty serious attempt to gather data about participation of women in Canadian debating societies. There is a link available on CUSID.net
