Campus Debates
The campus debates are a debating tournament series that has existed since 2018 , which are organized by the Association of Debating Clubs at Universities (VDCH) with the support of the Zeit Foundation Ebelin and Gerd Bucerius and the Zeit Debates that existed from 2001 to 2018 (with the support of Zeit ) continues. Until his death in 2015, they were under the patronage of former Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and comprise the most important tournaments in German-language debating.
A total of over 100 speakers and jurors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland take part in the tournaments in this series. A season consists of four regular campus debates, three regional championships taking place at the same time and the German-speaking Debate Championship (DDM). All tournaments are awarded to debating clubs that are VDCH members by the VDCH General Assembly. VDCH tournaments have been organized since 2012 in the formats Open Parliamentary Debate (OPD) and British Parliamentary Style (BPS). The format of the DDM alternates between these two formats every year. A regional championship will be held on two, a campus debate on three and the DDM on four days.
Competition mode
All registered teams take part in the three to seven preliminary rounds of each tournament. The results of each round are recorded in the tab . After the preliminary round, all teams are eliminated who have not reached a position in the tab that qualifies for the final round. The team tab is decisive for this break , next to which there is also a speaker tab with the results of the individual speakers. In the format of the OPD, the second is also important because it decides on the break of those speakers who could not qualify with their team but are allowed to act as free speakers in the final round. The final round will be played in a knockout system . There is usually an external audience only in the respective finals , which take place in larger halls and often attract several hundred guests. A team of two to four chief jurors takes on the organization of the content of a tournament and also determines the topics of the debates. The other jurors are provided by the participating debating clubs and, like the speakers, only reach the final round if they qualify. The chief jurors decide on the jury break at their own discretion.
