Your squad is cordially invited to the first YODL tournament of the 2022-2023 academic year.  At this event, we’ll continue our experiments to explore best practice in BP debating.

YODL tournaments incorporate a number of approaches that are significantly different from traditional BP practice.  In brief, the major differences are:

* Each debate decides upon a topic via a topic striking process

* Points of privilege allowed during the round to address equity concerns in-round

* Escalated equity issues handled by the tournament host or designee with the option of involving the host institution's equity and compliance office

*Open deliberation following the debate, to be observed by the debaters

We expect that every participant--debaters, judges and observers--will read, understand and abide by the policies governing participation in YODL events.
