The Objective

You may have heard of the Spartans. Weren't orators like the Athenians. But. They. Never. Said. An. Unnecessary. Word. This August, our annual inter faculty debate championship is returning bigger and better. Do you think you have the best words? Are you Demosthenes? or Cicero? or Churchill, then come and test yourself against similar claims from all over the campus. The winner takes all.

  • •Faculty delegations (Teams of 2)
  • •Independent adjudicators looking for judging experience
  • •Student observers and novice speakers.

FAQ

Can we register multiple teams per faculty?

Yes, as many teams as possible are permitted to register from any given faculty. Come and do your best

Can I partner people from other faculties?

Unfortunately, not in this tournament. It's an inter-faculty competition and as such there should be faculty representation

Can I register for both debate and PS?

Due to logistics, if such an option open up, we will communicate further. For now, choose one single track of your priority
