IVs & Open-Turniere

When debating against Australians, Europeans are often disadvantaged
From December 2nd to 4th Melbourne Mini demonstrated that the world best institutions prepare for the upcoming WUDC in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, gathering 60 teams in 6 pre-rounds without the need to hype their prestige. Stefan Zweiker reports from Down Under.
The most prestigious tournaments actually take place in Australia, of course. Cambridge and Oxford can have the northern hemisphere if you like, but the Australian record in Worlds and World rankings does not play second fiddle to the British. However, I have the impression that nobody cares too much about prestige anyway. Melbourne Mini shows that the high level Worlds preparation can also be an enjoyable tournament with a relaxed schedule and lots of bar tabs.

2 teams from Debattierklub Wien attended the SOAS IV 2011 between 21 – 23 October 2011. Vienna A being slightly more experienced broke into ESL semi finals while Vienna B competed as novices team. The freshman Marian Hochgerner reports on the event.
London – It does not come as a surprise that Europe’s most modern and fast moving city (this is more than a cliché), with an exceptional density of high-class schools and universities, hosts “one of UK’s largest, friendliest and most engaging university level tournaments” – not to say the biggest and most international competition in Europe after the EUDC. Organized by the School of Oriental and African Studies Debating Society and held at the University campuses since 2008, the SOAS IV has become a fixture on the IoNA circuit. “The SOAS IV has grown significantly and can claim to be one of the largest university-level debating forums in Europe. Over 400 competitors, judges, and observers from a variety of countries attend.” as stated proudly on SOAS Debate Society’s homepage.

From 7 – 13 August 180 teams competed at Europe’s most important debate tournament in Galway, Ireland. DKW sent Karoline Lutz and Regina Puthenpurayil as Vienna B, Leonhard Weese and Christoph Jäger as Vienna A along with Rosie Halmi as adjudicator. The buzz around the ESL final motion “THBT God Exists” has eclipsed most other remembrances of the tournament. This report will hardly do otherwise. In any event, should one think of Galway as a godforsaken place, think again.
