Debating Premier League, 2020

Greetings,

The Debating Society of UPES brings to you "Debating Premier League" starting from 9th of September, 2020. In a league all the teams go against each other irrespective of the results. The pattern is being introduced by DebSoc to provide equal number of debates for all the participants and to ensure equal opportunity to prove themselves. 

Debating is much more than just winning a competition, it's more like a refreshment needed from time to time to cope up with the monotonous and boring lives. Therefore, DPL brings to you a new battle everyday. 

For the sake of ease of the students, the pattern of the league is such that it will keep you occupied for not more than two days in a week. 

The entire structure of Debating Premiere League becomes more interesting because of the fact that every team of 3 members that register as speakers will automatically get registered as adjudicators too. This means, it will be mandatory for the speakers to adjudicate if they are registering as a team. However, people who only want to adjudicate can register as independent adjudicators. 

This structure will help the participants to explore themselves both as a speaker and as an adjudicator. The motive behind this is to make every speaker learn how to adjudicate well. 

Therefore, according to the above information, there will be 2 registration links:

1) Team registration:

2) Independent adjudicators:

Your eligibility of participating in nationals will be decided on the basis of the scores you get in this event. 

We request the participants to keep a track of all the information regarding the rounds and the tabs through the DebSoc blog and other social media handles.

Regards

Debating Society,
