ARGO Premiership 2012 Grand Opening

Salutare tuturor,

ARGO Debaters sunt convocati sambata aceasta (17 martie) la ora 14:00 la Deschiderea Oficiala a ARGO Premiership 2012. NU se vor mai tine intalnirile obisnuite de grupe, Premiership-ul va fi in locul acestora.

Valabil pentru toate persoanele inscrise in Premiership: trebuie sa tratati ARGO Premiership ca pe un cocncurs AKA "NU lipsititi!".

Valabil si pentru cei care nu s-au inscris/se vor inscrie pe care ii asteptam sambata si suntem foarte curiosi sa aflam din ce motive ati decis sa va limitati antrenamentul de debate.

Dress code: Smart Casual (valabil pentru tot premiership-ul)- daca nu stiti ce inseamna google it!


Program:

14:00 - Deschidere Premiership

14:30 - Anuntare Motiune

15:30 - Runda 1

17:00 - Intalnire Operativa ARGO Open

18:00 - (Freshmen pleaca acasa) Intalnire cu Seniors si Sophmores about Junior Trainer Status

Va asteptam sambata to Debate!

Registration Open for 2012 Premiership


Did you know...

... that some of the best debate opponents you will meet might just be right next to you?
... that you could get kick-ass constructive feedback in a regular Sunday without leaving Ploiesti?
... that you can get to call yourself ARGO's top debater?




------------------- Do the clapping, cuz Argo Premiership 2012 is on! -----------------

Some info:

Every ARGO debater is invited and expected to participate in this in-house competition, rounds stretching across March - June (no, if you are a Senior you are still not "too good for this"), break to semis/ quarters and grand final;

It only costs a ridiculous 10 RON/ debater (and as I am convening, you can fully expect cookies);

As you can dooh from this e-mail, all rounds are held in English;

GO LIVE: scheduled for the 18th of March for the moment (but stay tunned for this one as we need to get approvals and stuff);

You register as a team following the below path:
http://isondaje.ro/sondaj/250364932/1/ (I promise, promise it doesn't take more than 2min)

Deadline: THIS SUNDAY evening - 11.03.2012!
