Ithaca will hold the first ever debating tournament dedicated to sports.
Anyone can participate. The topics will all be sports related. All contestants will compete in two preliminary debates starting at noon this Sunday (December 8) in Textor 103.
At noon competitors will sign in and will be paired for competition. Each debater will compete in two debates - the field will be narrowed and elimination rounds will continue through the afternoon.
The debates are impromptu - no one knows the topics (except that they are sports related) until 20 minutes prior to the debate. During this time competitors should feel free to conduct research using the internet or to consult with friends and associates.
There is a nominal entry fee of $5 but there is a $50 gift card for the winner. Pizza will be provided after the first two debates.
