nyankoframeWell, we didn't break into the finals (2-3 record), so no surprises there.
What was surprising (on hindsight, not really) was that
- I actually improved quite a bit since the last time; though there are still things I need to work on, mostly signposting and quality of rebuttals
- there *are* adjudicators who will enter the debate
- it's not enough to defend your own case, but you need to attack the opposition's one too
Let's see what next week will bring, besides more sleepless nights and packing preparations. =)
I'll be collecting the shirts and other gear on Tuesday evening, as well as attending a meeting. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
