Trials will always be better than a one-off debate for s few reasons: 1. The atmosphere in an LPH debate is totally different to that of a competitive debate, and unlikely to play to the strengths of speakers who have the expertise to do well at Worlds. 2. Over a day of trials, a judge gets to see a...

Bryn, You don't pick someone to represent Britain at the Olympics who has never run a race before. I've done Worlds 3 times and I can tell you that people who do not have the commitment to endure the pre-worlds circuit, acquire the knowledge and expertise and most crucially experience, needed to suc...

Given the ratio of homo:hetero males in debates, I doubt many would notice...

Yes, congratulations to Rachael and to all candidates for running a nice clean and well-spirited campaign.

Also, don't forget Laura and the outgoing board for all their hard work in running a successful year of debates!

Well, if not original, at least this motion is debatable...

Teams in the final are:

Edinburgh C (McKinlay & Ross)
GUU D (Hardman & Anderson)

GUU A (Tait & Adams)
St Andrews F (Stewart & Vit)

Errrr....

...has Rachael booked rooms for training this term yet? If so what are the times...

Dates announced so far:

The Edinburgh round will be on Monday 6th Feb at 7:30pm in Tevtiot.

The GUU's round will be on Wednesday the 8th at 7pm.

The Dundee round will be on Thursday 9th February at 7pm in the Tower Building.

No such term as "double-break" I'm afraid Ewan, but regardless to avoid being pushed out by judges "parachuted" from the main break is no small achievement. I've never heard of a St Andrews judge breaking prior to Miranda, myself and Kizzy, but to break a judge every year for the last 3 is indicativ...

Well, the tab is out and I guess someone will post more detailed results once we get back to the UK. St Andrews A (John & Jason) and St Andrews B (Connie & Doug) both missed the break by a single point. (Show me my round 8 adjudicator and I'll strangle him). Kirsty broke as a judge and got to judge ...
