The prepared topics for the championship are:

  • This house believes that China’s rise is good for the world.

SENIOR DIVISION

  • The United Nations should restrict the Security Council’s veto power.
  • This house would resort to civil disobedience to bring attention to the climate crisis.

Schools are encouraged to register two teams: one junior team and one senior team. If a school would like to register more teams, please contact me before the tournament so that we can arrange additional adjudicators.
