I, Sir.Lancelot, am hosting the 2023 Round Table Tournament.
It is my pleasure to be collaborating with whiteflame on this.
As most tournaments will sometimes grow inactive because of people’s IRL schedule conflicting with their participation on the site or hosts becoming inactive. None of these will be a problem.
I am completely determined to see this tournament through to the finish. And I want the topics to be interesting and for the tournament to accommodate everyone’s schedule and availability. If availability is a problem, please disclose and me & whiteflame will work around this.
The Round Table tournament will be a system that gives a chance to test who the site’s best debaters are. The Round Table will be divided in two separate stages.
- The Entry
- The Finals
- Within the Entry Stage, debaters will have the opportunity to accumulate as many points as they can.
- Those who meet the bare minimum amount of points will qualify for The Finals and from there, it will be strictly elimination. The last participant who remains will be nominated for the HoF.
Default categories for this debate will be Politics, Science, History, Religion, Sociology, Fiction, Pop Culture. (Possibly more.) But where this tournament differs from the rest is that topics/subjects will be personalized to match each competitors’ strengths in order to ensure they are operating under the best circumstances possible. (Like an algorithm.)
If pitted against an opponent where both are out of their depth, the topic/subject will be altered to meet in the middle.
The listed topics for The Entry will be assigned a certain amount of points, with the easiest topics being assigned the least and the hardest topics, the highest points.
But there’s a catch.: Once you debate a topic whether you win or lose, it is off-limits to you for the next debate.
Entry Stage may last anywhere from a month, with possible extension if required.
The tournament specifically tests on four things: Versatility, Knowledge, Persuasiveness, and Research Ability.
