Training, Führung und Bewusstsein – Julian Vaterrodt und Jonas Linck über die Jurorenausbildung
Stellen wir uns die Frage, woraus eine Debatte besteht, so kommen wir meist zu dem Ergebnis, dass sie aus acht oder neun Leuten zusammengesetzt ist. Diese Debatte zu führen ist tatsächlich möglich, jedoch wird dabei vergessen, dass auf diese Weise niemals ein Sieger bestimmt werden kann. Keiner wird bekannt geben, welche Probleme die Debatte hatte, was die Redner verbessern könnten oder wie sie sich im Vergleich zur letzten Debatte verbessert haben.Wir glauben, dass hier das internationale Verständnis - das des sogenannten Judge - auch in Deutschland Einzug halten sollte.[caption id="attachment_24874" align="alignright" width="400"] Matthias Morrkopf (l.) und Julian Vaterrodt im Halbfinale ...

The CA team at EUDC Manchester has introduced changes to the way POIs are treated; in particular, they have introduced a compulsory POI requirement, and have asked judges to more stringently enforce the allowance for 15 seconds of speaking time during a POI.

„Some thoughts on the introduction of the new POI rules in European Debating“ by Michael Shapira
The recent briefing and later clarification released by the adjudication core of the upcoming EUDC Manchester 2013 has included some changes in the way we are to treat Points of Information (POI).

The second change is an introduction of a "Mandatory POI" under which a speaker must take a POI during their speech. Failing to do so, the speaker is then required ...

„Are you willing to sacrifice the lamb?” Michael Shapira talks strategy with DCJG
How do you convince Gustav the Buffoon from Bavaria that you’re the greatest debater in the room? You act the part and tell him you’re the greatest debater in the room.
