From John Meany:
Results – Claremont National Open (BP Format)
October 4-5, 2008
Congratulations to all the participants attending the fifth consecutive national invitational BP tournament at Claremont McKenna College.
It is difficult to qualify for elimination debates at BP events; the overwhelming majority of tournaments restrict elimination round fields to the top 10-20% of competing teams – that was the case at the Claremont tournament. Consequently, there were many highly effective performances that are not recognized in the following lists.
Motions
1. This House opposes international adoption.
2. Governments should require medical personnel to act against their personal ethics in the performance of their medical duties.
3. Free speech should include Holocaust denial.
4. This House supports diversity quotas for legislative assemblies.
5. This House supports substantial increases in fuel taxes.
6. Pakistan is more an enemy than an ally to the West.
S. This House would use political assassination.
F. This House supports slave reparations.
