The Debating Society participated in the Worlds University Debating Championship for the first time in the recently concluded WUDC 2021. While this in itself is a big achievement for us, the team of Deep Behal and Aditya Ramkumar weren't just going for the sake of participation, and in the process of honing their skills for the tournament, have had amazing performances at other tournaments as well.
- ESL Finals, Acropolis Open'21
- ESL Finals, Imperial IV'21
- ESL Semifinals Doxbridge 4
- Open Pre-Quarterfinals, Trinity Open'21
Apart from these, Deep broke as a Judge at the Australian BP Championship (Sydney Mini) & judged Semifinals
At WUDC 2021, seeing a participation of ~400 teams globally, they ended up as a reserve breaking team in the ESL category and missed the Open break on a 2-1 split in the 9th in-round (where they were pulled up) with the dissenting judge giving them the 1st.
Their efforts and exploits in recent tournaments have been nothing short of special. They've exceeded all our expectations and set the bar high. We intend to use their performance as inspiration for our future debating endeavors.
