REGISTRATION FORM

 

In case more teams than we can accomodate register, we reserve the right to limit the number of teams per delegation. Teams secure their spots after we receive the registration fee payment / the invoices will be sent to registered institutions after registration deadline.

Registration fee waivers

We have some registration fee waivers available for teams which usually can not participate at global debate tournaments due to different barriers they face, especially teams from underrepresented regions like Africa, the Caribbean & South America. Teams can ask for debaters registration fee waiver or for a waiver of the missing judge penalty and they need to fill the registration waiver form in the registration form.
