Event
Tech Duels features passionate participants debating technical topics in various formats, including one-on-one and team battles, competing for prizes and recognition. All debaters undergo training from our seasoned coach to refine their arguments, while judges and moderators are trained for effective evaluation and scoring.
Agenda
The debate will consist of 5 rounds. In the first round, the debaters will present their opening positions. In the second round, the debaters will offer their rebuttals. The third round will have each judge pose one question that is directed to both sides, ensuring impartiality. In the fourth round, select audience members will have the opportunity to do the same following similar guidelines. The final round is the closing statements.
Outcome
Judges are tasked to choose the winning & runner-up teams while the audience will determine the Most Valuable Debater (MVD) via live voting. The MVD is audience selected, so that individual can be on the winning team or from the runner-ups. Prizes will be awarded to participants.
