    Ok i now that I am ending the registration ahead of time, but I had to, so I could get the game started earlier. We have 16 people, which is what we needed. I have randomly picked the people who go which round. The tournament is going to start on Aug. 10 at 12:00 P.M. (Central). Locke should be here at that time. When he comes here, he will edit this post and give you guys a topic to debate on. So as soon as you guys get your topic, just start your debate. The first 4 participants will have till Aug 12. 12:00 P.M. (Central) to complete their debate. Thats is 2 days (48 hours). As soon as the debate is over. We will have a poll deciding who won the tournament. The poll will run through Aug 13. 12:00 P.M. (Central). As soon as the time comes, the poll will be closed and people wont be allowed to vote after that. The 4 people partcipating will NOT be allowed to vote in the poll. If we catch you voting for yourself you will be <u>Disqualified</u> automatically so make sure you dont vote. The person from each group who wins, will move on to the Finals against the other 3 people who win. So we will have 4 people left. The Finals will take place on a Saturday so we can have everyone here.

    This is the group and the people that will be debating against each other.

    1. Sniper vs. tinyballer vs. Julio-R- (FROM AUGUST 10. 12:00 P.M. -THRU- AUGUST 12. 11:59 A.M.) (POLL WILL BE FROM AUGUST 12 12:00 P.M. -THRU- AUG 13. 11:59 A.M.)
    2. tmacgarnett vs. Thefreshprince vs. AznxBaller vs. Blurr#7 (FROM AUGUST 13 12:00 P.M. -THRU- AUGUST 15 11:59 A.M.) (POLL WILL BE FROM AUGUST 15. 12:00 P.M. -THRU- AUGUST 16. 11:59 A.M.)
    3. YugoRocketsFan vs. igotask8board vs. Mag vs. Pakman (FROM AUGUST 16 12:00 P.M. -THRU- AUGUST 18. 11:59 A.M.) (POLL WILL BE FROM AUGUST 18. 12:00 -THRU- AUGUST 19. 11:59 A.M.)
    4. Rock4Life vs. Baka vs. antonyo09 vs. Mr. Taz (FROM AUGUST 19. 12:00 P.M. -THRU- AUGUST 21. 11:59 A.M.) (POLL WILL BE FROM AUGUST 21. 12:00 P.M. -THRU- AUGUST 22. 11:59 A.M.)

    There are the timings and the people who are going against each other. I know this thing wont go according to the timings. But me or Locke will try to get as close as possible. Good Luck to all the participants. Give it your best. Dont think automatically that such and such person is better than you. Give it your best! Good Luck! Dont start right now. Let Locke give you guys a topic first. As soon as Locke gives the topic, you are good to start! Remember, I have not scheduled a time for the Final Four, so hold tight till we get to the Final Four, then I will post the timings for that. Good Luck all!

    ---<u>vcwannabe15 dropped out of the tourney</u>
    <u>YugoRocketsFan dropped out as well</u>

    Finals is like this all:

    Sniper vs. AznxBaller vs. Mag vs. _______

    Good job Sniper. You have made it to the finals!

    Good Job AznxBaller. You have made it to the finals!
    Good Job Mag. You have made it to the finals!

    I think it would be better if each debate had its own thread, a mod could keep it clean and organized?
    This thread was just to tell you that we're starting now.
    So when Locke gives me a topic to be debated on, we can start.

    How do we decide who wins? Sniper brang up a bad move, (worst move I can think of) and the rest are debating on how each scenario would have panned out.

    Are we just going to have a poll with their names in it to see who wins?

    There will be a public poll.

    The way I think this should be set up is the top 2 of each debate move on, and move on into the semifinals. Top 2 of each semifinal move on and face off in the final, where the winner will be crowned. Exact dates and times to be determined.

    No Locke. I have school starting and I will be quite busy, and I am sure others will be as well. I want this Debate Tournament to get done as fast as possible. So 1 person from each group will advance instead of 2.[​IMG]

    Could one of the people like (Locke or AznXBaller) or someone tell me why I didn't do so good in my debate. Sure it was different than everybody else. But I also believed hadn't done so bad.
