What to expect:

This is a new event type, aiming to help students have their first experiences with debate in a less stressful environment. We're trying some new features with this in mind:   

1) Guided preparation – teams will have a touch over an hour to prepare for their first debates on the topic, using resources provided by DUDA. 

2) Debates in the afternoon: 

Novice/JV teams will participate in 2 “low-pressure” rounds focused on testing new arguments in a  feedback-driven environment. 

Varsity teams will participate in 2 typical win/loss debate rounds.
