Good News or Bad News First?

Now, there are two possible options. We could give you the good news first, or the bad news first.

Well, except in debate we would call this a false dichotomy. There is in fact a third option; we could give you no news at all. While this would be the best option based on today's results, that really would make this blog rather pointless.

This morning we faced off against Estonia, winning the round 3-0. In the afternoon impromptu match, we were proposition for the motion "This house would legalize all drugs." After a rather confusing and difficult round, we took the loss 2-1 against the Netherlands.

Of the 17 rounds, only four prop teams took the victory, and there were several other surprise results as well, with USA defeating Pakistan and Israel beating England.

The battle continues Sunday, after a break for the DMZ tomorrow, with matches against Malaysia and Singapore.

Cohen a dit…

"thw legalize all drugs" is a pretty iffy resolution...
good job on estonia though.
by any chance are any of the debaters from the dutch team from 2005 in calgary still there or did they come along?
is israel very good this year or england not or was it just the round?

anyways, good luck in your next rounds and have fun in seoul and the DMZ. wave to the north korean guards!
