We invite you to come to Wuhan, Hubei, PRC for one day of British Parliamentary Debater and Adjudicator training in Mandarin and English followed by two days of competition. Debate experts both from the United States and China will present the training sessions for both debaters and adjudicators. Students and adjudicators will learn about British Parliamentary debate with sessions from Debate Format to sessions on argument development, specific speeches of the debate, and judging. We hope this training will bring in many new students and adjudicators to this form of debate. The tournament will consist of four rounds of preliminary debates followed by a semifinal and finals round if the size of the tournament dictates. Certificates will be given to all students and adjudicators that participate. Awards will be given to all finalists.
