NZ BP Champs
Author: Seb TempletonFrom the 20th to the 22nd of November the New Zealand British Parliamentary Debating Tournament is once again being held at Victoria University at the Kelburn Campus. Here are the basic details for this year’s tournament:
You can download a registration form from http://www.debsoc.co.nz/Files/BP_Rego.docx.
This needs to be sent in to sarahannewilsonnz@gmail.com as soon as possible. If you can’t find a teammate, let us know and we’ll see what we can organise!
This year we have amazing judges and fantastic social events, with two days and six preliminary debates, followed by the semi finals and the finals to be held at the Legislative Council Chambers in Parliament. There is also a Women’s Tournament being held on the Friday, watch this space for more details!
Registration is just $60 and this gets you:
- Catering for both days in between debates
- Bar tabs at all of the social events
- The Saturday night dinner with free corkage (you can opt out of this if you would like and pay $30 registration instead)
If you need assistance organising accommodation, or have any other questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with convenor Sarah by emailing sarahannewilsonnz@gmail.com
The tournament is open to anyone; you don’t have to be a university student to attend.
Note that this tournament uses the Worlds rules, and so topics will not be based in NZ – so study up on the world that we live in!
