  1. I think he got the right wording for all the preliminary round motions, but the wording for some of those final motions is wrong. I think the differences between his wording and the tournament's wording can sometimes be critical. Here's the exact wording for the final motions.

    OPEN QF: This house believes that the UN should offer large bounties for the capture of pirates and the destruction of pirate ships.
    ESL SF: This house would abolish state funding of all arts degrees.
    OPEN SF: This house believes that, compared to a planned economy, the free market does not make ordinary workers more free.
    ESL FINAL: This house would alter WTO rules to allow poor countries to erect protectionist barriers against rich countries.
    MAIN FINAL: This house believes that democracies should conscript citizens by lottery when facing any prolonged military intervention.
