Everyon ehas been sent there Topic and has till 12 EST tommorrow night. Which is 26 hours from now. That is 9 PM Pacifictime. PM your opening to Walker. HE will post you and your opponents debate in a thread in the Streetball forum. then you will 24 hours to rebutle and debate openly. From there we close the rubtle stage and you will have 24 hours to send Walker your closing argument. From there the judges will pick a winner.
If this doesn't make sence your an idiot.
Official Rules- 16 posters, two sides of the bracket.
- AKADS will run the 8 poster side of the bracket he's not involved in. I will run the other 8 poster side of the bracket.
- AKADS and I will decide on the 16 posters that enter. He will do the seedings for the side of the bracket he's running. And I will do the seedings for the side of the bracket I am running.
- When the poster has typed his argument he will PM it to myself and I will post it simultaneously whenever I have both sides of the argument.
- The judges will be the participants in the tournament who are not involved in that particular debate.
- Three rounds per debate. Opening argument, a day for back and fourth arguing with as many replies as you want, and closing argument.
- When we get down to quarters and semis the eliminated posters, and myself, will judge the winners.
- All votes from judges must have a brief reasoning behind them or else they are void.
- AKADS and I will discuss what we think should be the topics through PM. You won't know your topic until your 24 hour first round begins.
- Every debate will be over the course of three days. You have a day for each round. eg. Monday for opening argument, Tuesday for 24 hours of back and fourth arguing as many times as you want, and Wednesday for closing argument. If you need a day off because of vacation or something things can be changed.
- The final decision from the judges will be available that night or the next day.
so, anyone interested? it could be something that spices up the offseason every year rather than back and fourth nerd accusations.

I happily anticipate the gobb vs ced debate. I'm going with my man Pistol Pete, he has the easiest route to the final 4 if you ask me.
Great idea you guys, although I think the topics may need a bit of tweaking.

I am looking forward to if I can get past Seth. Me and GeeWiz have had a good at it since Cavs/Wiz series. But unlike some rivalries we have respect for each other.

It isn't a battle of wits, it's a debate, can you sway others into accepting your view? Originally Posted by TheReturnofCed
