I was thinking about how to prepare for the upcoming Euros in
Tallinn and got to the conclusion that doing more and more debates,
as we did in the past is not going to give me all the results that I
would like to see until I get to Tallinn.
I spoke to different important and successful debaters in the past
and got ideas what else I can do to prepare. The most interesting
thing I heard was probably two guys (of course I forgot their names)
got together for a beer or two every week and prepared for different
motions while drinking beer. This could work for me but on the other
hand I really can not stop on the one beer, so being an alcoholic
after the EUDC is not one of the benefits from the prep that I would
like to see.
But still it is the best idea what to do next to read all the
things that you can find, but this is a thing that you should be
doing all the time. As people say, the prep for a tournament starts a
couple of years before it. But we are too late for that, I'm as smart
as I am.
So I'll be preping for debate motions that I expect to see on the
WUDC. For the start I believe that preping all the motions from past
years WUDC's and EUDC's will be enough. And then using motions from
other debate tournaments (well, that's why I made this website in the
first place ;) ).
So why does the topic of this article say "help the
community?". Well I believe that if we share ideas, we all get
smarter a bit. So if you are going to do similar stuff to prepare for
EUDC or any other debate tournament, I would be really glad if you
send me the ideas that you get. If you would like to stay anonymous
for any reason, I won't list your name, but I would like to thank you
for your contribution by posting your name at the end of the article.
