Hello everyone

We had a great time having you all over at Glasgow for the 25th edition of EUDC.

Unfortunately, we have had a couple of participants notify us that they have tested positive for covid since the competition ended. Please be sure to follow covid guidelines in your respective countries and keep yourself and those around you safe!

🦄 Important Information: CLASH, LANGUAGE, TAB

Every participant should have received an email inviting them to the discord server. If you have not please email [email protected] right away. All of this information will also be published on discord. It is vital you join the discord server as this will be the main mode of communication during the running of the tournament - especially since we will be doing a delayed motion release as outlined in the participant handbook.

🔵CLASH FORM: Please make sure to read all of the information included at the top of the clash form.

This form will close on Friday afternoon.

The following is a list of mandatory clashes that one must declare:

🔹 Having been in a past or current intimate relationship with the individual in question (e.g. close friendships, familial relationships, romantic relationships)
🔹 Having regularly debated together with the individual in question in the past (not once or twice, unless you teamed up with them for a major)
🔹Having coached, or been coached by, the individual in question
🔹Having previously been affiliated with an institution as a student, coach or as an employee (unless you already declared this during individual tab registration)
🔹 Having severe interpersonal clashes (including, but not limited to, past equity issues), or
🔹Having certain financial obligations (please read our policy below for some clarity)

https://forms.gle/ususqBSVxwDXcnwV7

The participant list is also available on the discord server.

🔵LANGUAGE

Dear participants,

Please find the list with the allocated provisional language status here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pqe4k4LUIPGLhcqAR_5qVeBJun1gVVrbY25_ZPe9eF4/edit

If your status is „interview“ we have contacted you via email to schedule an interview. Any judges who filled out this form are not considered, since judges are not assigned a language status. If you know anyone who you think should be on this list, please tell them to contact us immediately at [email protected]. Similarly, if you have filled out the language form and do not see your name here, send us an email.

Your language team,
Ana, Assaph, Paula

🔵 TAB

At this tournament we will be using the shiny new Tabtastic Requests feature for tab change requests. It is very simple, you go to this page and fill out the details of your request: https://tabtastic.net/tournaments/eudc2024/request

Once submitted, Tabtastic will send you a confirmation of your request via Discord and Email, and will send you an update when it has been completed or rejected by the tab team, along with any feedback from us. If you reach out to any member of tab with a change request, or message in ⁠tab-questions, without trying to use the request process, it will be ignored. If you do have a legitimate issue with the system, please provide details about it so we can continue improving this feature.

Given the number of requests to the reg team and tab directly about institution prefixes, the tab directors have formulated a procedure for assigning the prefixes based on how they have been traditionally assigned at EUDC. We then reviewed all of the prefixes to ensure that they follow this procedure. We will allow appeals for cases where multiple prefixes could be considered under criteria 1, or where the prefix does not neatly fall into the criteria outlined. You can view the procedure and pending changes here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17z-NmZm3Q53Jyy-9jC2mO9tfkzCyYZm2pKK6D34qWgM/edit?usp=sharing (Hyphens indicate no change)

🦄Participant Handbook!

Today we sent an email to all participants (Officers, IAs, Institutional Judges, Speakers, and Volunteers) with important information regarding Glasgow EUDC. This included the participant handbook:

🔵 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AeY9kcKt97yHKaH13st3phlkxchGic60/view?usp=sharing 🔵

This details the schedule; venues and maps; advice on travelling around, to, and from Glasgow; sites to see in the city; information about accommodation and check-in; socials; and useful links including an interactive map which will give you written directions to the debate rooms ✨

We apologise that it is a bit later than previously promised, however we hope that this will answer any questions you may have about the upcoming tournament.

We would also like to remind everyone that the deadline to fill in the language form is TODAY, the 16th of July. (This was posted on Facebook and sent to institutional representatives a few weeks ago however due to the unusually low number of applications the form is still open).

🔵 Here is the language policy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15HsQaX6FR52MRHoFZwZCFh0EE1zKPrWE27KzlUTvXks/edit?usp=sharing

🔵 And here is the language form: https://forms.gle/7sLDd2Re4hVHtH8Y8

If you have any questions about the language policy or need help with the form please email [email protected]

If you did not receive an email and expected one, please let us know at [email protected] with your name, and institution, as we have had some emails bounce back.

We are so excited to see you all in under two weeks! 💙🦄

The Adjudication Core for Glasgow EUDC 2024 has only made three substantive updates to the manual alongside formatting changes. The three updates are as follows:

1. Clarifying POI Restrictions: Page 10
We are clarifying what substantive restrictions a speaker can place on POIs in their speech. While speakers may state at the beginning of their speech a preference for taking a POI at a certain time or from a certain team, these preferences are not binding (and need not be followed) by judges and speakers. This change reinforces the ability of speakers to offer POIs at any point to opposing speakers, and ensures that judges will disregard preferences to the contrary.

2. Clarifying Bench Contradictions: Page 22-23
We are clarifying guidelines around contradictions, in particular around teams who rebut their own opening half. Rebutting your own opening half is different from bench weighing and it is explicitly prohibited. In previous iterations, ignoring the rebuttal offered limited deterrence. We are strengthening this prohibition and treating the violation as similar to a lack of POI engagement.

3. Removing the Preconditions from This House Hopes Motions: Page 30-31
We have removed 'Preconditions' as a feature of 'Hopes' motions. Preconditions introduced substantial confusion, as what constitutes a pre-condition is frequently unclear. Additionally, this feature tended to distract from the debate itself and encouraged semantic argumentation.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out or contact the Adjcore at [email protected]

Dear debaters,

The Glasgow EUDC 2024 Equity Team takes accessibility very seriously. We believe everyone should have equal opportunity to participate and achieve at this year's EUDC regardless of their access needs. To that end, this Digital Note-Taking Request Form aims to address the inequities that arise from individuals being afflicted by a non-exhaustive list of various physical, developmental and neurological issues that inhibit their ability to partake in this sport.

There is no deadline. We will always keep the form open, even throughout the tournament. Please note that you should contact any of us via the Equity email ( [email protected]) if you fill out the form after 20th July 2024. This is to ensure that we do not miss out on any of your applications and can process your request as soon as possible, and do not miss out on any important details.

Please read our policy carefully before you fill out the form: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-v2wuR6jPWKjptbHINbi8yNUSP5VC9i8VS-T5UJMjyE/edit

Please apply for a digital note-taking exception here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSer-e1OiJH1a_zR0VGpONGdv700GvqmmcJ9YorJ_egdkrGfSg/viewform

Individual registration officially closed 4 days ago. We left it open for an extra three days however we still have 93 missing registrations.
