    Default JPP Debate tournament - interest list

    2 years ago we had the first ever JPP debates. One of our most esteemed members took down the prize of awesome.

    Any interest of those that want to go head to head?

    There will be multiple rounds of debates. There will be a list of topics, and random pairings, the winners of those debates will go on to the next round, and the next, etc, until we have an overall winner.

    I'm thinking double elimination format to account for variance, but single elimination is also fine.

    oh yeah, the way the debates function is that you are forced to argue the side you are assigned, so you may be actually arguing for a side you don't normally agree with. that's the fun part

    internet is more important, you can watch most good shows via the internet anyway. fucking netflix is like.. 7 bucks or something like that??

    what netflix doesn't have, you can probably torrent.

    also, how are the neighbors? are they a bunch of douches?

    As long as there are no younguns as judges I'd be interested.

    We also need judges who are committed. Annie's departure ended up turning the first debate into a complete and total travesty.
