An Epic Final Round: Watch a Piece of Debate History
The TOC Countdown Continues
posted by Jon Cruz on May 1st, 2008
LEXINGTON, Ky. — I’ve received a tremendous number of e-mails after I uploaded a set of images from the 2003 Tournament of Champions to the VBD Photo Archives. People were very excited to see this blast from the (recent) past.
Well, today I made a little discovery: talk about a piece of debate history! There is actually a recording of this final round. I’ve uploaded it to YouTube and included a link right here on VBD. Enjoy the round as we near the final twenty-four hour countdown to the TOC.

Jon i hope you dont do this in rounds when you judge, like purposely disclose incorrectly and then 5 minutes through the RFD you say JK

Jon I hope you don’t rickroll debaters as part of your RFD, especially not at the TOC and especially not if you’re called up to the finals panel.

“you know the rules, and so do I”
I think that’s an explicit reference to fairness being a voting issue
