Registration

Register your team together. You'll be asked to provide your team members' details so we can prepare the tournament draw and event schedule. If you're interested in the Public Speaking category, you'll need to complete a separate registration for that event as well.

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.
