Dear World Debating Community,
We would like to announce that we are officially opening the application process for the Deputy Chief Adjudicator posts for the DLSU World Universities Debate Championships 2011-2012 hosted by De La Salle University-Manila, Philippines. Deputy Chief Adjudicators are key parts of the adjudication team, and contribute to the effort of running the debating side of the tournament. Their responsibilities include, but are not limited to, motion selection, ranking of adjudicators and communicating with tournament participants and officials. One DCA will be selected from each of the following regions: the Americas, Asia, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Oceania, based on the region in which applicants do (or most recently did) the bulk of their debating and adjudication. In addition, one or more of the DCAs selected will themselves be currently eligible for the ESL or EFL language categories of the tournament, or have extensive experience speaking in one or both of those categories at debating tournaments.
DCAs should be able to:
- Commit to being at the tournament, and to being available shortly before its formal start date for on-the-ground preparation
- Select and critique motions for debate at the tournament
- Rank judges effectively
- Provide insight into the debating community they are from, and particularly into its adjudicators, both established and less well-known
- Work to ensure that all participants experience an exciting, stimulating, fair and enjoyable tournament, regardless of demographic groups, langauge categories etc they may be part of, or personal circumstances which might obtain
