About

Held since (I don't know - pre-Leonard Cohen) the McGill in-house tournament originally was open to all members of the debating union, but in recent memory has been made a novice tournament held twice yearly, once at the end of first semester, once again at the end of second semester. While the size may be small, the tournament is highly competitive with only a select few individuals ever successfully defending the title year round. Those elite few have gone on to garner much fame and glory, as only is fit for the champions of this prestigious event.

Typically, the event takes place over two days, with (mandatory) public speaking rounds. Often breaking straight to finals, the tournament is judged by McGill DU 'pros' with all pros who take down a flow being able to judge in the final round. 2006 marked the first time the final was held in the British Parliamentary format, the tournament classically being held in CP.
