Wilfred's 2021-Sign-up and Discussion
Children of Rajah, its time.
Time to just stop practicing your arguments on how the plight of Otis is a metaphor for the working class in the Age of Pandemic. Time to stop playing around with discussing whether Randy Orton should have made a bold move with AEW or whether they've pushed the Bliss envelop too far..
You think an E&C reunion would be better than another run for New Day?
Well freaking bring it.
Get off your ass and get in the game. And determine who the real king of IWC debaters is.
Or maybe stay on your ass. This is an internet debate. Unless you have a standing desk. Then intermittently get off your ass.
Regardless of your desk situation.....The greatest internet wrestling debate is back.
Wilfred's Debate has returned
This debate is a Rajah institution.
This is the tournament where the cocky get humbled by some old guns. And those old guns ride on, right until some young gun with a dream and a keyboard knocks them on their ass.
Names are about to be made, and some legacies are about to cemented.
This has been a lot of fun for a lot of years, and its time for installment 15.
@BBF and I wanted to get this year's version off and running, and run the tournament this year. We've both been in this one before, and look forward to running the tournament consistent with the past, but potentially adding a few wrinkles.
To establish a baseline (thanks for consolidating these previously Cewsh):
- The tournament is conducted as an elimination style tournament. Think the NCAA Basketball tournament, just with fewer players.
- The first round of debates will be comprised of 2 posts by each competitor, each with a word cap of 350 words (word cap and post count may increase in later rounds). It used to be 3 posts in every tie including the first round but this is a new thing to try and speed things up a bit. Also the first round questions should not be too hard just to ease people in but will increase in difficulty when we get into the later rounds.
- All posts must be staggered. You can't make your next post until the other debater has had their turn.
- Pictures, gifs and videos can be used in literally unlimited amounts to support your point. Information should be self-contained within your post. For example, you can't post a link to an article and expect people to go read it. Quote it in your post.
- The winner of each tie will be chosen equally from 3 selected judges who will PM there votes to BBF and myself and a public vote where readers can post who they won. Each judge's vote will be worth one point to the total score.

Same offer as the previous thread. I'm happy to judge if needed, and happy to be a competitor if needed. I guess competitors will probably be high demand, so sign me up. But I'll gladly move to judging if there are not enough volunteers.
My previous stance remains on it being either a 3-judge panel or 2 Judges and a public vote.

Though taking a backseat from running it this year, happy to don the wig and carry the gavel for judging.
