This tournament attracted some of the top high school debaters from international and public schools in Beijing and beyond. The AGD as part of our mission to spread debating and critical thinking were very proud to host such a competitive and intensive competition. With all the debates taking place on one day and breaking straight to middle school semifinal and high school quarterfinals, this tournament was even more intense than a normal one. But despite that all the participants maintained a spirit of sportsmanship and friendliness throughout.
The ballots for the preliminary rounds can be found here.
