Next week we will begin a long-running exhibition series.

The workings of it will be a little interesting, here's how it goes:

There will be between 3 and 5 teams, depending on interest.

Each team will consist of 1 moderator and one debater with a ranking of 4 or less.

Both members of each team will enter 1 on 1 debates against the corresponding members of another team.

For example: If Team 1 is The Vagabond and NYK537 and Team 2 is Intrepid and Xtrozero, then in round 1 it's Team 1 v Team 2, then The Vagabond will have a one on one debate with Intrepid and NYK537 will have a one on one with Xtrozero.

Future rounds will not be held immediately, this will be a long-running event which stops and stars as the schedules of participants allows, and timelimits will be significantly loosened.

The series concludes once every team has faced every other team, at which the combined number of wins for each team will be counted up to determine the winners. This means that not only the respective skill of the fighters is important, but their ability to help eachother develop and meet the challenge of tough opponents will also be critical.

Intrepid, Byrd, Chissler, Gools, and myself have expressed interest so far, so members who have debated before but who have rankings of 4 or less might want to contact one of us as potential partners. Moderation will be handled by a moderator who is not participating.

We hope to get hold the first round starting monday, so anyone who is interested should speak up quickly.

To help clarify things for members who aren't sure exactly what to do, it is up to you to find a team mate. Obviously that team mate needs to be a staff member. The staff members who are participating here are:

  • intrepid
  • Byrd
  • Gools
  • chissler
  • The Vagabond

    At this point, GAOTU789 and I have officially teamed up and will compile one of the teams. If you are a member, you are interested in participating, and meet the requirements laid forth by The Vagabond, send a u2u to one of the staff members listed and try to team up.

    Should be a lot of fun.

    Thanks. Seems like I'm unranked. Haven't debated formally in quite a while. You might want to rethink your choice.

    This is only my second tournament here. I got the hang of it by browsing through the older debates at the "Member Debates" section.

    Since you are the ATS-member with the highest post-count, and I am hell-bent on winning, I think we have a fair chance

    That doesn't prove that I'm a good debater, it just means I have a big mouth.
