Greetings!

Hello People!

I am real glad to be able to announce that we are going to host the inaugural 'Behes'-2014 at Indirapuram Public School, 6, Nyaya Khand - I, Indirapuram. This is a knock-out team debate event, where every team should have three members and each member will get to speak for four minutes. There will no interjections before the semi final round, after which every team will be allowed two interjections per debate.

There are no age divisions for this tournament, the only criteria being that the student be 18 years of age or less. If you have a passion for reasoned debate and want a chance to test yourself against the very best, you aren't going to want to miss this.

The event will be held over two days (October 6-7) and a limit of 32 teams has been set for the inaugural edition. Registrations are not open yet, but you can write to me at salilsinghnluj@gmail.com communicating your intent to participate with thee names of your team members and school name and I will book you a berth, whoever you are.

All details regarding the rules, schedule, recommended reading, registration, cash prizes and further information will be posted on this blog. Please follow for all further information.
