Greetings
Welcome to all debaters, past, present and future and thank you for visiting the official site of UiTM Sabah’s Jesselton Debate Open. We’re pretty sure you are all curious on what to expect from our tournament and as for that predicament, there’s only one thing you can do really, JOIN US NOW and see for yourselves! Just kidding folks! I know it is a grave sin to leave people hanging like that and I do have hopes of entering Heaven one of these days. Anyway, let’s have a brief rundown of the Tournament shall we?
The core of our Tournament, is of course, the debate itself and we want to assure all of you that we will provide a great and fun environment for you to debate to your utmost abilities and in overall, have some kick-arse fun experience throughout the duration of the tournament, we’ll also feed you with EDIBLE food while we’re at it. We can’t give you details, but please be informed that the debates will take place in our recently completed academic building so therefore, facilities wise we are confident that what we have will be more than adequate for your debating comfort and needs. To make things clear, our campus is not of Wood Elf design, so do please erase your doubts of sleeping in trees or debating in fibrous pods suspended in the air from the branches of our great Sabhandv tree. Don’t get it? Nevermind move on to the next paragraph.
In addition to that, we are offering a nice lump of cash as prize for the Tournament winner. We’re sorry to admit this, but 1st and 2nd runner up cash prizes is paltry in comparison to what the Champion gets, so please win yeah?. Considering you all came a long way and all, and also since we are not completely heartless creatures, we have also allowed the top ten speakers of the tournament to be able to receive due recognition and their (brief) spotlight on the stage.
Socials!, Outings!, Island Hopping trips!, the Food!, the Drinks! (grin), the Stuff! and more Stuff! (grin). These are the things we all look forward to after all the gruesome rounds of debate and true enough, we have all of that and much more!. We will try to accommodate your requests in helping you plan your outings but we offer o guarantees on this as many participants have different wants and needs, we’re sure you all understand. However, if you’re feeling independent and brave, we allow (encourage) participants to have their own way and enjoy themselves, provided they sign specific release forms exempting the organizing committee and the institution from any liability or claims. Hah!, just kidding folks, not to worry.
So that was our brief overview of the Tournament. If you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact the people listed below and do please refrain from sending self depicting images of an inappropriate nature to our young and innocent committee members.
Cheers!
