Practice makes perfect.

ENTRIES HAVE CLOSED

Ok, we have our 16, when I get home tonight I'll get the wheels in motion. Debates will start tomorrow or saturday. All debates for each round will start simultaneously. Rules will be the same as for the skirmish debates.

Judging will be done by a panel of 11 (one of our judges is not able to be here for this tournament). Results will be posted as soon as a majority (6) is achieved.

I suggest all contestants browse through previous debates and comments to get an understanding of what is expected in these debates.

Strict rules on time or not???

Only if people start taking far too long to reply. As long as the debates are moving forward I don't mind if they run a little over.

Thanx Kano!!

Good luck to all competitors - here's to an interesting, and stimulating, exchange of ideas!!

Draw posted here:

Debates will be posted and begin Friday or Saturday.

Wow! Great draw.

Some heavyweights will be dipping out in the second round! But everyone here is a heavyweight.

Good job Kano.

Best of luck all!

I am eagerly awaiting the debate Sir - good luck to your quest for "Above Black"!!

I especially feel honored that Valhall is first up, could'nt ask for a more first rate opponent! - good luck Valhall

Edit: nevermind....

Hey Phoenix! Good luck to you too!

If we're debating this weekend...you may find yourself climbing fast! I leave tomorrow morning for Las Vegas and won't be back until Sunday night. SOOoo, if we're scheduled for this weekend, I'm going to have to put my official forfeit in right now.

That debate can wait until Val gets back, it can't hurt to spread them out a tiny bit just for the judges sake.

Topics are up!


Ok topics are up and all debates are open, Good luck to all competitors, this round looks like it could be extremely interesting, I look forward to following all of your progress.

When does this show start? This monday? I'm ready to cook some ATS bacon...

can i take a cash prize instead of the book. It would be better for me...

Debates are open and have started as of that post up there. No you can't have a cash prize

Thanks Kano for letting Valhall have extra time for trip this weekend, I want to progress on my own merits - not by default
