This morning, WUDC starting with round 1 – a tiny wee little bit late due to missing teams, but with goose bumbs on our arms when the first motion was announced (which read “Round 1: This house would create public housing for the poor in wealthy areas.” – see our Facebook page<\/a> for all three motions of today.) On twitter, you could also feel the emotions:<\/p>\n

Due to a delay of more than an hour, some debaters poured out their emotions on twitter, while other defended the tab team for doing a great job in a 100 rooms tournament. We then had a look into the tab room, where all CAs and DCAs were busy, trying to get rid of even the last adjudication conflict. But hey, the delay also let people look at Germany from a different point of view – may be the starting point for better intercultural understanding?<\/p>\n

@FionaBrittle<\/a>: Punctuality of German trains: as expected. Punctuality of German debates: as feared. #debatersgonnadebate<\/a> #WUDC<\/a><\/p>\n
