I just got back from what was likely the final debate tournament of my career. I graduate in May and I don't see us going to any more tournaments. If this indeed was the end of my career, I went out with a bang.
Third Place - Debate - Day 1
First Place - Speaker - Day 1
Second Place - Speaker - Day 2
First Place - Speaker - Overall
Third Place - Sweepstakes - Day 1
Third Place - Sweepstakes - Day 2
Third Place - Sweepstakes - Overall
Mixed emotions.

I've never done one of these things before. Do they make you debate sides that you don't believe in? What kind of issues did you have to debate?

You may have to debate against things that you believe in or for things you are opposed to. It has very little to do with emotion and more to do with fact and logic.
Some of the topics that we debated.
Federal Tax System
Iran developing nuclear energy
Christian coalition
It's hard to remember all of them. I debate 13 different topics.

Excellent. When you said "I went out with a bang", I had assumed that you had finished the debates, but you're continuing. Cool. Good luck on Wednesday

I did go out with a bang. I'm not competing. I'm preparing the rest of the team for competition. I felt it would be best to sacrifice one of us in an effort to prepare instead of having the entire team running about with their heads cut off. So I'll be judging rounds.
