UBC Guide, EFL & Code of Conduct.

Alex Deane, one of the DCA's for UBC Worlds 2007, has written a new guide to Worlds Style Debate. It can be found under the tournament section of www.ubcworlds2007.com.

It's a good guide and worth reading by all travelling to Worlds in UBC or intending to take part in BP style debates in the future.

They have also published a code of conduct and qualification criteria for the new EFL competition. Again it is important that those planning to participate in the EFL check these criteria. Everyone planning to attend worlds at UBC should be familiar with the code of conduct.
