Are you new to debating?The Pro-Am format gives you the perfect opportunity to experience a debating tournament under the guidance of an experienced debater for free! Each team consists of one experienced “Pro” debater and one new “Amateur” debater. No prior debating experience is required!
An “Amateur” is someone who started debating at the university level less than one year ago and has not broken in a non-novice category at a tournament with more than 24 teams. If you do not meet these criteria, you are a “Pro”.
The tournament consists of five rounds, has up to 20 teams and takes place over two days. The debates are in the British Parliamentary Style format: eight speakers will take turns giving speeches of up to seven minutes to persuade the judge.

Sign-up closes on 26th of September.
