Blaikie Cup 2016

Blaikie Cup

Senior Debating Tournament (Grade 10 -12)

St. John’s-Ravenscourt School

This year, due to unavoidable circumstances, the University of Winnipeg Debating Society was not able to hold the Blaikie Cup. We think that it would be a shame to not to have it take place, so this year it will be held at SJR. It will involve 2 impromptu BP Rounds.

Time: Wednesday, May 18. Registration is from 5 to 5:30. Awards will be at 8:30

Location: St. John’s-Ravenscourt School, 400 South Drive, Winnipeg

Resolution: Impromptu British Parliamentary Debate (two teams on each side)

There will be 2 rounds and all teams will debate both sides. Speaking times for all debates will be a maximum of 5 minutes for constructive. Points of information are allowed. The impromptu topics will be given out at 5:30, and the debates will start at 6.

Schools may send a maximum of 4 teams. Depending upon numbers, it may be possible to send additional teams. If you would like to do so please indicate this on the form and I will let you know on May 16. Schools must bring at least one judge per 2-person team. If this presents a problem, please contact me about it and we will see if other arrangements can be made. Judges may NOT be high school students.

Please email the information below by May 13 to John Robinson, at email jdr400@gmail.com Please phone (204-960-1053) if you have any questions.
