Registration is underway and the global schools community is
greeting, hugging, exchanging stories and even buying a drink or
two. The hotel is truly beautiful and the rooms are excellent.
Zimbabwe dropped their team, which is creating some challenges
for Aaron Maniam. If there is a swing team in the area, now
would be a good time for them to call Tuna at 802-238-8345.
Today is the day for a number of friendly matches as teams try
and get in some last practices. The theory seems to be find
someone who is on the opposite side of one of the prepared
motions and debate against them. BUT, coaches have told me
that they want to debate against teams who WILL NOT disclose
the arguments made to the team they will actually be debating.
There is a strategy to even a friendly practice debate.
