1. CUDS had a very successful fall semester, with amazing results in the
tournaments that we have attended. Garnett Genuis and Padraic Ryan did very
well at Yale, finishing as quarter-finalists, additionally Padraic placed
third overall in the speaker scores as the top Canadian speaker. In the
Oxford Inter-varsity Tournament in England, Padraic Ryan and Kirsten
Odynski were the top Canadian team. At Chancellors, Garnett placed as
the second public speaker, and Blair Stein came fifth in public speaking at
Guindon. CUDS once again hosted the Xerxes High School Debating
Tournament. For the very first time this year, however, Xerxes was run in
British Parliamentary Style. The tournament was a success with over forty
debaters participating from schools across eastern Ontario.
CUDS will be sending three teams to the World Debating Championships, hosted
this year by the University of British Columbia. We are looking forward to
beating our success last year, in which we placed sixteenth out of over
three hundred fifty teams.
2. There several tournaments coming up that people are able to sign up.
Winter Carnival, the North American Championships, and Leger are all coming
up soon and if you want to participate, please express your interest on
