Any more of you out there?

So can you guys please be at the Top Floor of the Union by 12.30 on Wednesday?
Thanks. The round will start promptly at 1pm so I'll announce the motion at

Cheers to Becca for running a good tourney. Thanks everyone for coming out, especially Becca, Chris, Jess, Royce, Owen and Sally, who judged.

I had a great time and saw some hilarious debates (Fearghas, Steven, and Tom are worthy of special mention).

Finalists were:

St Regulus A (Rafael, Brian)
Crichton-Montrose C (Beth, Zoe)
St Salvator's (James, Chris H.)
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Laura, Miles)

I wasn't at the final. I was told that Crichton Montrose C. eventually prevailed.

Motions:

THB: The State Should Give Heroin Addicts Their Fix.
THW: Set up safe zones for cottaging.
THW: Recolonise Failed African Countries.

Final: THW: Make citizenship contingent upon an oath of loyalty to the Queen.

Speaker Tab. The first number is your total score. The three numbers that follow are your scores in each individual round.

Team Tab. The first number is your team points acquired (three points for each first, two for a second, one for a third, none for a last). The second number is your combined speaker marks (used as a tie-breaker if necessary).

I am perticularly proud that I managed to come bottom of both the team and speaker tabs as a swing team. Thank you Jess for giving me that crucial 50 in the first round when I was ironmanning. My speach in the style of a Daily Mail column I thought was one of my best/worst.

Thank you also to Becca for an excellent tournerment.

I am about the get the Dr John Blair Shield engraved (it hasnt been since 2005). I believe that last three winners have been as follows:

2006: Andrew Melville Hall
2007: Crichton Montrose
2008: Crichton Montrose

do post soon i fyou think I am wrong.

all the best,

Tom

How the hell did I get beaten to last, considering some of the things that were said?

Steveo - by a swing team who primarily went in to score last - I assume it was the job of Tom and Kenny to score lowest for at least some of it, so you were the lowest 'team' competitor at least. Go team.

I'm impressed about how tight speaker points were, I was two speaker points short of my dear partner, Ms Cahill, who clearly dragged us up to such a hilarously high standing on the team tab - I'm very proud of her.

Jolly good, and thanks for letting me judge, even if it did result in a split.
