This is a provisional schedule to give teachers and students an idea of when they can expect to have a round.
Order papers are sent out a minimum of a week before a debate is due to take place. e.g. For Round 1 Day 1 (scheduled for 8th October), order papers will be emailed to schools by 1st October; for Round 1 Day 2 (scheduled for 15th October), order papers will be emailed by 8th October, etc.
We would ask that in the event a student knows in advance they cannot make a particular date that they let us know as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made.
Students will not be debating every week. Each participant will have a maximum of one debate in each of the rounds listed above, i.e only one date in the time bracket for each round will apply to any individual participant.
(* all dates are subject to change).
