The three judges for the debate are the following:
KrisWest
TheAdlerian
Pavlovianmodel146
I am now looking for volunteers to represent ILP in this debate, please post on this thread (It is now 7:00 p.m. EST on Saturday November 29th) by 7:00 p.m. EST Friday December 5th if you wish to represent ILP.
TOPICS:
Myself and the judges are now collaborating on what topics we will have for the debate. The topics will be announced after the participants have been determined. The judges will also decide what side each site is to take on each individual topic. To ensure fairness, no judge will decide which side a site is to take on a topic that that judge chooses.
KrisWest will decide what side each site takes on my topic.
I will decide what side each site takes on TheAdlerian’s topic.
TheAdlerian will decide what side each site takes on KrisWest’s topic.
I have elected that topics remain secret until the participants are chosen. This debate will ideally result in the three best debaters from each site going head-to-head, so I do not want either site to pick a debater based on strength in one particular topic.
CONTESTANTS:
This will be a 3-on-3, best of three series of debates with each debater posting once per debate. In the event that one site or another wins the first two debates, the third debate will still take place.
In the event that more than three individuals decide to volunteer for either site, there will be a week long period where the members of the site (excluding, of course, the judges) will vote on what three they wish to represent that site.
VOLUNTEERING:
The only rule for volunteering yourself for the debate is that you cannot volunteer to represent at both of the sites, or you will not be considered by either site.
VOTING:
If there are more than three volunteers for each site a vote will be held by members in the following format:
Each member (who so chooses) will pick three of the members who volunteered to represent their site in the debate. Each vote will be worth one, two or three points. The person that you wish most to represent the site will receive three points and so on, here is an example:
1.) PavlovianModel146 (3 Points)
2.) PavlovianModel147 (2 Points)
3.) PavlovianModel148 (1 Point)
That said, let’s start volunteering!!!
