The tournament this year yielded an unprecedented amount of teams (over 40) debating at an enormously high level well beyond the norm for their age. The teachers and staff here at Capstone could not be more proud of the students' enthusiasm, rigor, confidence, and analysis. Videos and highlights will be available shortly so you all can see the fantastic quality debates of Capstone's students.

This is a quick reminder to encourage all participants (whether you made it to Finals or not) to join the Debate Clinic taught by Sam Myat San on Saturday. The two times slots are 4:00 to 6:00PM (for newer and/or younger debaters) and 6:00 to 8:00 PM (for older and/or more experienced debaters). Sam is a former top debater who represented the Singapore national team and the Harvard parliamentary debate team. Currently, he works for the Singapore government but also coaches a number of high school debate teams in Singapore.

The second of two preliminary days has just finished, and the teams entering Finals day have been set. Very much like the first day, the quality in all age groups was evident and, once again, the common challenge among adjudicators was to find the minute characteristics that ultimately determined the winning teams. For those that didn't make it through, don't get too disappointed as we will do our best to organized an even bigger tournament before the end of this school year.
