It was started in Rotterdam where    32      teams of two competed for the title. For the records: In    Amsterdam,   192    teams competed for the very same title in 2010.    Format has ever   since    been <a href=\"http:\/\/vdch.de\/unterlagen\/regeln\/bps2007.pdf\">British Parliamentary Style<\/a>(BPS),         language of debate is English. Debaters from all over Europe and        Israel  take part in Euros and compete with each other in two        categories: the  open break (for native speakers) and \u201cEnglish as a        Second Language\u201d  (ESL). Current champions are Eoghan Casey and  Patrick       Rooney (Kings  Inn), ESL champions are Maja Cimerman and  Filip     Dobranic   from Ljubljana.
