Dear all,
The registration for our
traditional International
Worlds Schools Debate Tournament Ljutomer, Slovenia which will happen from
6th to 8th of March
is open. Please register in the registration form at http://goo.gl/Rq0eX1 not later than January 31st. However, we do
advice you register as soon as possible as the places are limited.
Ljutomer international tournament is our traditional tournament being close
to its 10th anniversary. It is well known for hospitality, great
debates and a well organised tournament. Ljutomer is located at the centre of
Prlekija with its beautyfull vineyard scenery.
TOURNAMENT will have 6 debate rounds, quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals. It will start on Thursday, the 6th
in the afternoon and finishes by 18.00 in Saturday, the 8th. We do
expect everybody coming on Wendsday or Thursday before lunch and leaving on
Saturday evening or Sunday. Please, check the schedule at the end of this
message.
Debates will be in English in Worlds Schools Debate Format. Tournament will be power paired, for the tabulation
we are using Rich Edwards computer programme TRPC.
We do expect teams from the region, UK, USA, Middle East and other
countries to participate. We already have comfirmation that they are coming
from several globally well known judges and coaches like Claire Ryan from New
Zeland, Alfred Snider from USA and most probably also Gheeta Creffield from Singapore. And more, of course!
APPLICATION PROCESS There is a team
cap of 40 teams. By team we mean 3
debaters – we will not accept teams with 4 or 5 debaters.
Debaters should be accompanied by at least one adult who can also judge – 1
team/1 judge, 2 teams/1judge, 3 teams/2 judges. In the cases of multiple entries from one
country and if we need to limit the number of teams we will follow the principles of regional
diversity giving the privilege to the teams which are supported by debate organisations.
