May 9, 2020 Online Tournament Results
On Saturday, May 9, 2020 the CTMSDL hosted an online Middle School debate tournament. 99 debaters from 11 schools combined into 36 teams to debate the motion: This House believes that it’s time to expand nuclear power for civilian use. 28 wonderful High School debaters and coaches volunteered to judge. Special thanks go to Eliza Posner, Ann Walsh Henderson, and Everett Rutan. While it wasn’t the same as an in-person tournament, we all enjoyed the opportunity to socialize distantly.
Our first place team in the Open Division was Gallant, Ranjan & Berg visiting from the Dalton School in New York. Zach Berg (Dalton School) was our first place Open Division speaker.
Bannerjee, Chalasani & Zanbrakji from AITE Middle School Team in Stamford was our first place Novice Division team. Mohammed Zanbrakji (AITE MS) was our first place Novice Division speaker.
