<\/a>The Masters\u2019 Cup is the annual tournament, which is taking place in Eisenach since 2005. The venue for the final is the ballroom at the world heritage site Wartburg. The Masters\u2019 style<\/a> was specifically developed for the Masters\u2019 Cup where teams will be allocated by drawing lots. In teams of two, every speaker gets a time of seven minutes. The adjudicators judge content, strategy and method equally. Chief adjudicators are traditionally the president of VDCH (Association of German and German speaking Debating Societies at Universities) and one member of the executive board of DDG. As speakers, all members of DDG as well as those awarded the DDG prize for the best junior speaker are welcome, while as judges, debaters from all societies are accepted. Jens Fischer<\/strong> won last year\u2019s Masters\u2019 Cup<\/a>. An overview over the past Masters\u2019 Cups can be found on the DDG homepage.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
