Good luck with it.
That it does. I used to love team debating when I was at school. For two or three years I was the schools "whip". The last speaker. Rebuttal was everything.

In my final year of high school (year 12 in Oz) we won a statewide interschools competition too. [img]smile.gif[/img] Lots of fun.

Wow. This brings back memories. Of people. Old friends, people from the other schools I'd meet. The best was debating against all girls schools.
