Die Regionalmeisterschaften 2013 wurden im deutschen Format OPD ausgetragen.

Der Debattierklub Wien hat die Süddeutsche Meisterschaft in Ingolstadt, Bayern gewonnen. Das Team bestehend aus Mark Etzel, Jakob Reiter und Christoph Jäger war bereits nach den Vorrunden das Team mit den meisten Punkten. Den Sieg konnten die drei im Finale gegen Stuttgart in der Opposition zum Thema “Sollen homosexuelle Paare das volle Adoptionsrecht erhalten?” erobern. Mark wurde zudem zum besten Redner des Turniers gekürt. Das Team wurde von Anika Nussgraber als Jurorin begleitet.

Die Regionalmeisterschaften finden jährlich fünf Wochen vor den deutschsprachigen Meisterschaften statt. Die drei regionalen Turniere entscheiden über die Platzvergabe für die deutschsprachige Meisterschaft (DDM), die heuer in München stattfindet. Sie wurden heuer im Format der Offenen Parlamentarischen Debatte (OPD) ausgetragen.

Der Erfolg des DKWien in Ingolstadt ist zugleich auch von historischer Bedeutung:  Es ist das erste Mal, dass ein nicht-deutsches Team eine deutschsprachige Regionalmeisterschaft gewinnt.

Vienna wins the Southern German Regionals

DKWien wins the Southern German Regionals (SDM) in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. Mark Etzel, Jakob Reiter and Christoph Jäger broke first into semis and secured their title in the final against Stuttgart. In the final they were to oppose the motion ‘that homosexual couples should be granted full rights to adoption’.  The Viennese contingent was also very successful on the speaker tab with Mark ranking best speaker of the tournament and Jakob conquering the 3rd place. Anika Nussgraber joined the contingent as an adjudicator.

The German Speaking Regionals determine the allocation of slots at the German Championships. They take place five weeks before the German Championships, which will be held in Munich later this year. All tournaments were conducted in the German format “OPD” ( Open Parliamentary Debate).

DKWien’s success marks the first time that a non-German team wins a German-Speaking Regional Championship.

Madlen joined DKWien in 2012 and after not even a year of debating she joined the DKWien Mission2Break contingent to Berlin WUDC 2013. Since the Vienna teams narrowly scraped past the break, Mission2Break was renamed into MissionToBreaknight; WUDC Berlin was a blast for everyone who had the pleasure to go there.

This short post shall give you a short overview of what is coming up in the next few weeks and explain why some of our members did not get accumulate too many hours of sleep in December.

1 – Worlds University Championships in Berlin start now! This is how you stay up to date.

2 – Vienna Winter Worlds Prep. Michael Shapira gave our speeches the final touches for Berlin. Teams from as far as Mexico came.

3 – Training Debates and DKWien Knowledge Show. Why December was too short.

4 – Tilbury House IV. Just that we do not forget to mention. December started off MASSIVELY. We had two teams in the finals of Tilbury House IV Cologne

Not that we wouldn’t hold up the Olympic spirit. Just as long as debating isn’t Olympic, we rather go there for other reasons.

Is this about the Olympics? Sure not. Maybe about this is about the weather? No, otherwise we wouldn’t use the word “great”. So maybe this article is about debating again? Yep. A couple of DKWien athletes headed to London for the Imperial IV and the SOAS Open. They had a look on how Londoners prep for Euros with the author putting special focus on the local pizza service.

For the first time since its inception Debattierklub Wien had more teams applying for a Championship then there were slots available. Five teams competed for 3 slots, all of them had their merits and none of us knew how to settle that. Hence we decided to run the EUDC trials and find it out the hard way like we had seen it from the grown ups in Sydney, Oxford or Leiden. We set the dates for  May 5 and 6 to run the evil but necessary “Battle For Belgrade”.

3 weeks before WUDC, the Centrale IV was one of the last chances to fine tune debate skills. Christoph Jäger and Rosie Halmi competed as Vienna A together with 40 international teams in (almost) Paris on December 2nd and 3rd. With the usual suspects on the judging pool, five preliminary rounds, beer, pizza and an upscale Champs Elysée location enough reasons were provided to make it a pleasant stay. Sety Rabejaona and Milen Petkov from Erasmus A took the win on the motion THW partition Belgium.
