Worlds) 2013 in Berlin as is reported by <strong>Patrick Ehmann<\/strong>, president of the <strong>Berlin Debating Union<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Both Sharmila and Doug have gained a lot of experience on the international debating circuit: Sharmila, a political scientist from Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines, was octo-finalist at Dublin Worlds 2007. At this year&#8217;s Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships in Auckland, New Zealand, she was deputy chief adjudicator. The &#8220;Australs&#8221; see themselves as one of the biggest debating events in the world, second only in size to WUDC. Doug comes from the Cambridge Union Society which enjoys a long tradition of debating. In 2007, he became EUDC finalist in Ko\u00e7, Turkey, while in 2010 he was a judge in the Worlds final, again in Turkey, and chief adjudicator at Amsterdam Euros.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1981, debaters from all over the world have been competing at the World Universities Debating Championships (WUDC) at alternating locations across the planet. It was not before 1996 that the <a href=\"http:\/\/vdch.de\/unterlagen\/regeln\/bps2007.pdf\">British Parliamentary Style<\/a> became the mandatory format for this annual tournament. The African continent has been host to previous Worlds and stages the Worlds now for a third time, this year from 27 December 2010 to 4 January 2011 at the University of Botswana, Gaborone. Language of debate is English and there are three categories: \u201cMain\u201d for native speakers, \u201cESL\u201d (English as a Second Language, for those who prove great proficiency in English) and \u201cEFL\u201d (English as a Foreign Language, for those who studied English as a mere subject).<\/p>\n<p>In 1999, the Berlin Debating Union (BDU) was founded by <strong>Jens Fischer<\/strong> and <strong>Kai Monheim<\/strong>, back then with the name \u201cStreitzeit (Berlin Debating Union)\u201d. Since then, the society has gained some experience in convening national and international tournaments: BDU has twice been host of the German Debating Championship (2001 and 2008), the biggest tournament on the German speaking debating circuit. In 2006, Berlin was stage of the European Universities Championships (EUDC). In addition to that, the Berlin Debating Union invented the Central and Eastern European Debating Tournament, later renamed Berlin Open and then Berlin IV, thus open to debaters from Western Europe as well as to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>apf \/ glx<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"qtranxs-available-languages-message qtranxs-available-languages-message-en\">Sorry, this entry is only available in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6851\" class=\"qtranxs-available-language-link qtranxs-available-language-link-de\" title=\"Deutsch\">Deutsch<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[94,71,152],"class_list":["post-6851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turniere","tag-berlin","tag-ehmann","tag-wudc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6851"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6851\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19113,"href":"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6851\/revisions\/19113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.achteminute.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
