Sorry that I've left you without information for so long, but the internet access is really limited and the wifi at the venues does not work for me.So here all the interesting debating news. Day started with a 2 hour delay, because the firs tab that we got to see lacked 20 people. As I heard from Oscar, some people got acccidentally deleted from the tab and some people didn't register properly.That means now, the we won't be having 8 rounds, but only 7, becvause of all the lost time. So we finished three rounds today. Find the motions at the end.An interesting vote was taken yesterday at the debaters and judges briefing, on how many open adjusication rouinds should there be. A lot of yelling, because you casted your vote wit a loud yell, and the people have decided, the we should have 7 round out of total 8 open. Of course now that we have only 7 rounds, 6 will be closed.The accomodation is a lot different from what we had in the last years, on the good side single roums are great, but on the orher hand communal showers and toilets leave space for improvements.A couple of ESL/EFL problems, especially something about the Russian teams, but I don't have a lot of details on that.As the word goes around, we have a couple of teams on 7 points in the ESL.Organisation could be better, people often do not know what comes next, but the org team tries their best. They do lack a couple of helpers as I heard, and I still don't know why someone thinks that an English sandwich could mean lunch. But the English breakfast is the real deal.Motion round 1: This house would allow the police to use entrapmentMotion round 2: This house would use the educational system to instill moral norms in children beyond mere obedience to the law.Motion round 3: This house would grant citizenship to ilegal imigrants who report on workplace exploitation
