It’s women only when the Cambridge Union Society invites female debaters to the Cambridge Women’s Open 2011. The Oxford Union showed the way with their Women’s Open in spring, now the ladies of Cambridge follow them: The girls-only tournament will take place in Cambridge on 25 and 26 February. Chief adjudicator is Mary Nugent, convenors are Natalie Smith and Maria English. Mary and Natalie won this year’s Women’s Open at Oxford in spring. Crash for the Cambridge competition will be available from female hosts. Language is English, the format will be BPS. Registration is open from New Year 2011, please contact cambridgewomens[at]gmail.com. For more details, please go to the website of the Cambridge Women’s Open 2011.

Addendum, 2 December 2010:

This tournament is a fake announcement – a hoax! When Achte Minute asked the alleged chief convenor Natalie Smith confirmed that the event is a fake:

“I’m afraid the whole thing is a hoax. I’m not really sure what the point of it is but someone has spent weeks and their own money setting up this fake website and email and even using proxy servers in America to cover their trail!”

For your clarification: This tournament is not going to take place! On top of that, the tournament’s website is down.

But you may still have fun watching the video:

  1. Ich habe aus vertraulicher Quelle, dass es sich bei dieser Veranstaltung um einen Hoax handelt. Verrückt. Die Leute aus Cambridge wissen nicht wer das Video gefälscht und die Domain registriert hat. Die Website ist mitlerweile auch down.

    Berichte mehr wenn ich mehr weiß,

    Das Blog “Hopetobreak” sieht das ebenso als Hoax: http://hopetobreak.blogspot.com/2010/11/cambridge-womens.html
