DAV Mini 2016

Following the astounding success and the amazing enthusiasm of debaters at our 3-on-3 tournament, the President's Cup, the DAV brings you MORE DEBATES in the form of the DAV-Mini!

This British Parliamentary Tournament will run across the full day on Saturday, September 7 (10am-5pm), with 3 debates and a finals debate.

The tournament registration will include catering throughout the day and drinks afterwards! For DAV members, it's $30, if you're not a DAV member it's $35. If you want to adjudicate, it's free! Registration for both adjudicators and debaters is open now, and closes at 5pm on Monday, September 2.

This competition is aimed at novice or beginner debaters to test their skills - all experience levels are welcome for a friendly day of debating.
