As for now, we're doing an 8-man tournament, but if more people want to participate, then I'll increase it to 16. Also, we need three judges. Simply post in this thread if you want to be a part of the NBA debate contest. </p> <u> Debaters </u></p> 1. Zards </p> 2. Denny Crane</p> 3. BG7 Lavigne</p> 4. GArenas</p> 5. valo35</p> 6. Strike3 </p> 7. RaptorFan#1</p> 8.</p> <u> Judges </u></p> 1. cpawfan</p> 2. Premier</p> 3. </p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BG7 Lavigne)</div><div class='quotemain'>I'll participate. But isn't this similar to the Around the Horn we have going on (or had going on?)</div> No, it actually isn't. That was for points, and in that contest, it was everyone for themselves, not 1-on-1 debating a topic like this one. You'll see the difference once we start this up. </p>

Zards maybe you should move to being a judge unless you really want to debate, you're going to be making all the topics for the debates and running the entire contest, don't you think it will be a bit much to also debate especially with school starting in a week. It will also be easier to find 2 more debaters rather than 2 more judges.
I'm happy to be judge.</p> Note: I deduct mega points for using ridiculous player comparisons.</p> </p>
So, right now, the list looks like this:</p> </p> <u> Debaters </u></p> 1. Zards </p> 2. Downunderwonder </p> 3. BG7 Lavigne</p> 4. GArenas</p> 5. valo35</p> 6. Strike3 </p> 7. RaptorFan#1</p> 8. Peg182 </p> <u> Judges </u></p> 1. cpawfan</p> 2. Premier</p> 3. Denny Crane</p> </p> --</p> </p> We can get started now that it's filled. Zards should post all the match-ups then the debate threads. </p>
Thanks for the help on this, GA. Anyways, what I'm going to do is post the matchups in a separate thread in this board, and the way I'm going to do it is picking random names out of a hat... because that always seemed the best solution to me. After I post the matchups, then I will PM every debater and give them three topics to debate on and they have to rank the topics in which one the want to debate. After I get all the debaters' decisions, I will then post the debate topics and give everyone a deadline for ending their debate.
