This blog post is going to be ridiculously short cause I quite literally have NOTHINGto say. This definitely should have been written by the champion, Toshiya, but anyways, here it goes. I paired up with Reo (from UT) and Rena-san (Keio graduate). I legitimately don’t know how we ended up becoming friends but I’m glad it did.
Results: We ended up as last break, quarterfinalists. I personally got 6thbest speaker and Rena-san got 10thbest speaker.
Rounds: Honestly all of the rounds were very fun. We lost most of our rounds, but I think I had fun with all of them. The motions were more or less straight forward, so it was chill.
I think the most notable rounds were R1 and R4, mainly because R1 was basically a rehab round for our team and we completely got wiped. Also, R4 because we died cause our case was pretty sad.
適当な感想:
- I liked the motions a lot. Super straightforward, lots of things to say, clashes really well. Extremely fun to debate and I had a lot of fun speaking first because I had a lot of things I could pick and choose form to make our case.
- Reo was too smart for our team. I had no clue what he was talking during prep but when he does his speech, it all made sense.
- Toshiya winning made me extremely happy because I know the ridiculous amount of effort he puts into debating. Congrats!
- The average age for ざかんwas really high. While this might be a bad sign that there aren’t a lot of young debaters entering the circuit, I really enjoyed going against the debaters who have years of experience under their belt, mainly because they’re still really strong.
Acknowledgments:
Thank you to my teammates Reo and Rena-san for 5 extremely fun rounds and a very memorable trip. Also, good luck in Singapore, Rena-san! I hope your last debate tournament with us was worthwhile! Special thanks to Yagasaki-san who was the judge for our team and overall a super fun person to be around! Lastly thank you to the Org Comm and Adj Core for making this tournament a spectacular experience.
Overall super fun!
