Debate: Upcoming Tournaments

CONSTRUCTIVE POINTS 1. Guelph Tournament 2. Panda Debate 3. Ottawa U. Debate-a-thon 1. Guelph Tournament CUDS is now accepting applications to attend the Guelph Invitational Debating Tournament (Guelph University, February 3-5). This tournament will be conducted in British Parliamentary style, so it represents a great chance for our members to get familiar with this different format. The deadline for applications is January 30th - please post your interest on CUSIDnet or notify the exec at exec(a)carletondebate.org. 2. Panda Debate This year's illustrious Panda Debate - the (almost) annual showdown between the Carleton and University of Ottawa Debate Societies - will be held from February 10-11. The Friday evening rounds will be held at Ottawa U, and the Saturday rounds will be at Carleton, with some kind of social event happening on both nights. There is no cost for the tournament, though we generally order food communally during the tournament. Final details are still to come, but anyone who is interested should email the exec at exec(a)carletondebate.org. 3. Ottawa U. Debate-a-thon The University of Ottawa will be holding a repeat of last year's very successful Debate-a-thon for charity. This year's event will be from Monday, January 30th at 10am to the next day at 10am, and all proceeds will be going to Nelson House, a women's shelter. If you are interested, you can read the post on the forum (http://www.cusid.ca/community/viewtopic.php?t=10171) or email Wajid from the University of Ottawa at w_mhs(a)yahoo.de. ***Please do not reply directly to this email.
