Adjudication Core Statement

Dear Debaters and Adjudicators,

With just two weeks left for the debate, we can hardly wait! All the finalized information regarding the socials and hospitality related arrangements for the debate has been put up on the NLSD website by the organization team. We hope you all have had a chance to go through the same, and are looking forward to being here just as much as we are.

Earlier this year, we had promised you a tournament that will try its best to meet the expectations that burden it, specifically with regard to matters of adjudication pool quality, and the substantive content during the debate such as motions, fairness in tabulation, and accountability of the adjudication core.

To announce their vision statement, as well as their plan of action for this debate, and to set out certain standards they wish to hold themselves accountable for, the Adjudication Core presents to you their Statement of Purpose.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5Y3Qb9F2RvyNWhxMzd1cVNwcWc/edit

We urge you all, as participants of this year’s NLSD, to read through their statement. Their effort and commitment to deliver in the coming three weeks can be judged simply by the innovations and measures they seek to introduce in the tournament. Several changes have been brought to the format as well as the manner of conducting the adjudication test (they aren’t necessarily our ideas, but we hope they result in manifest change). This statement therefore also contains vital information on the tournament that you all need to know before you arrive in Bangalore.

The online adjudication test, which will release tomorrow (Monday, 18^th March, 2013) will be uploaded along with specific instructions on the rules and format of the test, and the exact nature of the information we wish to obtain from the adjudicators participating in the debate.

Yours,
Team NLSD

On behalf of

Viraj Parikh
