Mag If we have odd number of people, 1 person will have a bye for first round. I am not just going to pair 2 people with each other. I am going to put everyone's name on a piece of paper and randomly draw. Just letting you guys know because I am trying to be as fair as possible.

Well my advice would be to either pick the next easiest stance or just take the same point of view but use different means of backing it up (only works for certain topics). <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">AXB has recruited me. .

The tournament starts on Aug. 12. Registration is through the 11th.
Umm i might be a bit slow on my debates from 16-28 because i am traveling but i am going to try to get my lap top online and do it hard.
ok tinyballer.. i'll let you be the first one to debate so you can get yours over with if you cant do it any other time.. Mr.Taz gotcha
Nah, I thought we were playing this in rounds tournament style? So then in fact a bunch of people will be the "first ones" to lose. Is Locke going to do this?
^Help you out, but not participate? Okay, it got a little easier. . hopefully Durvasa doesn't bust out with those statistics. . I might have to use some of those!

stats only get you so far and in specific debates. For example: which player is better? There are things players do that don't show up on the stat sheet anyways. Andrie Kerelinko is the most complete player in the NBA with a complete defense and an acceptional offense, but statistically he is no where near being an MVP candidate or a superstar.
I'm not gonna be taking part. Too busy nowadays to have the time to do it anyways. I'll just be the one making up debate topics. Also, I'm quite sure there's a way to counter statistics. Depending on the way you twist it, you could work it to your favor. I haven't found a way to do it though...
