DISCORD INVITE LINK: https://discord.gg/8Dn9pkk
Welcome to our first ever live debate tournament thread on DART. For those who do not know me, I am SupaDudz, Head Discord Moderator and Laision for the DART Discord Server. Today I am here to announce the first annual Discord Live Tournament.
This tournament is to boost our Discord and to have people on the site feeling connected to the Discord Moderation/Community. We felt the need to do something big and have the same impact DDO Hangouts did to the DDO Community with live tournaments and such. With willing moderation in Bsh1, Virt, etc, I was honored to host this great tournament
