METU (Middle East Technical University) is organizing one of the best
tournaments of the year, between 21-23 March 2008, in Ankara, the
capital city of Turkey.
Adjudication Panel: You want
brilliant debates, creative motions, fair adjudication, and finally
practice before euros? Say no more, the best opportunity stands right
before you:

Travel:
Did
you know that choosing Istanbul as your destination is the same as
choosing Ankara? No, they are neither the same cities nor the plane
tickets cost the same. We will make the buses ready to take you from
Istanbul to Ankara for FREE, in case you want to pay less for tickets,
or you can't find tickets.
Accommodation:
You
have just left the comfort of your bed, been through a probably tiring
journey. We will provide 3 days of accommodation for the nights of
21-22-23 of March in the guesthouse of the school called Aysel Sabuncu
Ya?am Merkezi which has the comfort of a 5 star hotel. You can see the
photos from the facebook group.
Socials:
We
promise a top-notch tournament. Our adjudicators will ensure good
debates; but it's not all. As for socials, our OrgCom will ensure you
never run out of booze. Party all night, drink as much as you can, be
the last debater at the bar. Go wild.We will also be providing you with
lots of delicious Turkish food.
In addition, we will make
a tour to Anıtkabir (Atatürk's Mausoleum) and Anatolian Civilizations
Museum. Furthermore, we will have the champion's dinner with free
alcohol at our school's graduates club.
