We are the finalists!
Today I participated in the Israeli English Open Debating Championship at IDC in Herzliya. In a British Parliamentary Style debate four teams of two debaters represent two opposing opinions. The adjudicators then rank the teams according to how convincing they were and based on some rules.
In today’s tournament, me and my partner Mark broke to the finals, which means we were one on the four top ranked teams out of 20. We won two of the three preliminary rounds, and came third in the other round. We were the highest-ranked team of the three Technion teams.
The final was between us, two teams from IDC, and a legendary team of two very experienced debaters. The motion for the final was “This house believes in immediate withdrawal from Iraq”. We were first opposition. We did not win. However, all finalists got a medal, and so did I.
We are the finalists, my friend
and we’ll keep on fighting till the end…
Mazaltov!
