Invitation for the 13th NLS Debate (with Registration Link)

[The NLS Debate]

Dear all,

The Literary and Debating Society at the National Law School of India University, Bangalore, one of Asia's premier legal institutions, cordially invites you to India's oldest and most competitive Parliamentary Debate. We've played a pivotal role in the introduction and spread of Parliamentary Debating in India, and we'd like to deepen the presence of an activity we deeply treasure by providing you with high quality adjudication, challenging motions, and excellent hospitality.

We return in our 13th edition, to be held from 27 - 30 March, 2015. Counting University College Lahore and the Faculty of Law Colombo among our winners, along with Indian institutions such as IIT Bombay, RVCE, NLU Delhi, and Ramjas, we have a rich legacy of providing a platform to the finest debaters across the region as well as being among the first to invite international adjudication core members to India (such as Daryl Isla, Logan, Tate, Jason Jarvis and Sharmila Parmanand), and we look forward to seeing participants from your institution at our Bangalore campus.

Moreover, as the home of India's software industry along with its perpetually temperate climate (the average daily mean in March is 27 C), stunning pubs and restaurants, the "Garden City" of Bangalore is a great place to get to know the progressive face of urban India's growth story. As the capital of the gorgeous state of Karnataka, it can also be used as a base to explore the beauty of this ancient, heterogeneous culture.

Our tournament details are as follows -

• Inter-varsity (no institutional crosses permitted) following the Asians format
• Team cap of 54
• Institutional cap of 2 teams
• N - 1 adjudicator requirement
• 6 preliminary rounds + a non-competitive practice round
• Registration cost, without accommodation, is INR 1500 (approx. SGD 30/ MYR 80/ PHP 1080)
• Registration cost, with accommodation, is INR 2500 (approx. SGD 50/ MYR 130/ PHP 1800)
• Prize money of at least INR 1,00,000 (approx. SGD 2450/ MYR 6390/ PHP 86730).
• Accommodation will be both at our campus and in a nearby hotel, the details of which will be intimated soon.
• Facebook Page (all updates will be posted here) - 

We're delighted to announce that our Adjudication Core members will be Sounak Sarkar, Dibyojyoti Mainak, Varun Sen Bahl and an undisclosed 4th member (who happens to be a UADC DCA). With their years of experience in debating, an unbridled passion in the activity and a love for the NLS Debate, we assure you challenging motions of a high standard.
