The International Debate Competition Valencia (IDCV) is aimed to students between the ages of 16 and 18. It will take place in ESIC Business and Marketing School Valencia (Spain) on February 17th, 18th and 19th, 2023. We are organizing the tournament in cooperation with the Slovenian national debate organization Za in proti, zavod za kulturo dialoga, Rok Hafner as chief adjudicator, Ivan Koruza as tab master, Bojana Skrt as a consultant.
The debate motions of the tournament are:
“This house believes that the European Union should ban Pegasus and similar software”
“This house regrets the rise of the gig economy (e.g. Grab, Uber, AirBnB, …”).
The registration fee to participate in IDCV is 40€. The registration fee covers lunches and dinners during the tournament schedule and other tournament expenses.
The tournament’s debate format will be the World School Debate. You can check all the information of the IDCV in the following link.
The teams will hold five debates throughout the tournament.
The tournament will be power paired using the usual tabbing computer software system. After a first debate where the pairings are decided by draw, the teams face each other by levels based on the victories and points achieved in the debates.
Registration stage 1 starts on November 1th, 2022, and ends on November 30th 2022.
During this stage, registration leaders are required to submit registration form.
During Stage 2, delegation leaders will have to submit delegation details, including all debaters, judges, and their judging experience.
A delegation’s registration is complete once all relevant information is submitted.
The stage 2 deadline is December 15th, 2022.
The IDCV features five preliminary rounds followed by quarterfinals, semifinals, and the Grand Final.
The preliminary rounds will feature two impromptu and two prepared motions (each team will debate the proposition side in one and the opposition side in the following round or vice versa).
Prepared motions will be announced by mid-December 2022.
The tournament’s maximum capacity is 32 teams.
