WUDC Summary of first day of competition

Here is a summary of events today.

Things ran behind schedule but that's almost a tradition at Worlds.  Small things snowball on day one and before you know it you are a couple of hours behind. 

Motions

Round 1 This house believes that national sporting teams should reflect the diversity of the national population
Round 2 This house believes that all countries should have the right to possess nuclear weapons
Round 3 This house believes that governments should not provide benefits on the basis of marital status

Speaker point stats from @debatemotions
Round 1 max 86 min 54 average 74
Round 2 max 87 min 59 average 75.22

Thanks to all for rapidly posting motions, progress updates and positions for the streaming debates. Stars for the day goes to @philipjbarker & @stevellano

I have not come across many results yet. I assume they will appear as the night wears on. Keep an eye on #WUDC and the blogs I listed previously. I'll summarise them later tonight.
