There was an error in the tab at the recent World Schools Championships. Filip Dobranic of Slovenia should have been the EFL Top Speaker.
There was an error in the tab at the recent World Schools Championships. Filip Dobranic of Slovenia should have been the EFL Top Speaker.
From CA Aaron Maniam:
We've checked the tab and it is now official that Filip is the top EFL speaker (ranked 43rd overall). There was indeed a software error so while the round 4 scores were included in the team total, they did not get reflected in the individual tab. I'll do my best to work with future adjudication teams to rectify this glitch on future tabs.
Tuna is compiling an online scrapbook of photos from the recent WSDC. If you can help get in touch with him:
See it at http://debate.uvm.edu/debateblog/wsdc/Welcome.html
Please check your page and pictures. It is not too late to send me either a new photo or your write-up. I want to find some errors, because I know they are there.
I am still looking for photos of:
Break Night Party
9/11 Memorial
England holding their trophy.
Other photos you might feel are of interest.
