Debate: More CUDS Success!

CONSTRUCTIVE POINTS 1. CUDS Success at Guindon 2. Xerxes Judge Training 3. Word of the Day 1. Success at Guindon CUDS broke last weekend at the 2005 Father Roger Guindon Pro-Am tournament, held at the University of Ottawa. Mike Powell and Adam Coombs (N) broke fourth and finished sixth overall after dropping in quarters. However, CUDS' success wasn't limited to these two dapper gents - Chris Hannay broke first in the public speaking break and finished 5th after the finals. Also, Andrew Lawrence finished as 5th placed Novice, and Mike Powell was 7th speaker overall. Carleton certainly seems to be moving up in the CUSID world, as this is the third tournament in four weeks that at which Carleton has broken! 2. Xerxes Judge Training Xerxes, our annual High School tournament, is coming up next weekend! This year's Xerxes looks to be the largest tournament that CUDS has ever hosted, with 40-45 teams registered to come. To make sure that everyone is ready to judge, CUDS will hold a judge training seminar during the regular Wednesday meeting, and all those with little or no judging experience are asked to attend. Questions and queries can be emailed to Mike at mbpowell(a)gmail.com. Also, people would do well to skim the judging section of the Cusid Central Debate Guide on pages 77-83, which can be found at http://www.cusid.ca/documents/guides/central_debating_guide.pdf 3. Word of the Day Today's word of the day is QUAFF. Defined as "to drink with relish" (probably not the condiment). Example: Andrew quaffed the relish with disturbing gusto. ***Please do not reply directly to this email. Any and all questions or comments can be directed to vpcom(a)carletondebate.org***
