DEBATE

Venues	PBL Rooms
Estimated Duration	6 hours
Participants	Total number of teams has to be a multiple of 4. no maximum number of teams per batch
Rules & Regulations	British parliamentary Style There are 4 teams, each consisting of 2 speakers The teams are known as Opening Government (OG), Opening Opposition (OO), Closing Government (CG) and Closing Opposition (CO) The 1st speaker of the Opening Government (the Prime Minister) will speak first, followed by the 1st speaker of the Opening Opposition (the Opposition Leader). Next the 2nd speaker of the Opening Government (the Deputy PM) will speak, followed by the 2nd speaker of the Opening Opposition. Then, the 1st speaker of the Closing Government will speak, followed by the 1st speaker of the Closing Opposition. Finally, the 2nd speaker of the Closing Government will speak (the Government Whip), followed by the 2nd speaker of he Closing Opposition (the Opposition Whip) The Closing Government speaker has to come up with arguments that have not been brought up by the Opening Government, it is important to note here that the Opening and Closing Governments are on the same SIDE, but they are not of the same TEAM. The Opening Government team and the Closing Government team debate independently of each other, meaning that the 2 teams are not allowed to confer during the 30 minute prep time before the debate as well as during the debate itself. The Closing Government must come up with fresh arguments as a team by itself, and are to bring up anything which contradicts what has been said earlier by the Opening Government (as they are of the same SIDE). This same concept applies to the Closing Opposition, ie. They must produce fresh arguments of their own, which do not contradict those of the Opening Opposition. Usually, the Prime Minister and the Opposition Leader provide 1 point each, and the 2nd speaker of the OG and OO, as well as the 1st speaker of the CG and CO provide 2 points. This is a guideline and not necessarily a hard and fast rule. The Government and Opposition whip rebuts the arguments from the opposing side and sums up his/her team’s case. The Opposition Whip is not allowed to bring up any new points. Starting from the Opposition Leader onwards, all speakers are required to provide rebuttals along with their own arguments. Each speaker speaks for 7 minutes. The timekeeper rings the bell once at the 1st and 6th minute and rings the bell twice at the end of 7 minutes. Points of Information (POIs), which are questions/interjections during a speaker’s speech, can only be made between the 1st and 6th minute of a speaker’s speech. To present a POI, a debater should stand and announce ‘Point of Information’, ‘POI’, or something to that effect. All 4 debaters on the side opposing the speaker may give POIs, However, debaters are not allowed to POI speakers of their own side. In other words, speakers from the Opening Government cannot POI speakers from the Closing Government and vice versa, and Opening Opposition speakers cannot POI Closing Opposition speakers, and vice versa. Allocation of marks: Matter – the content of the speech, including arguments and reasoning, rebuttals, examples, case studies, facts and other material that attempts to further the case. It includes points of information offered and points of information taken. 50% Manner – refers to a speaker’s style and structure 50% TOTAL 100%

Only registered players are allowed to play. The game is over and the winner is found when The World Tree or Frozen Throne is destroyed or the other team gives up and their captain types "ff" or "forfeit" in all chat to confirm that they have given up. When time is up and none of the above matches, the winner will be decided based on the number of kills. Each tower will account for 3 kills, aegis 0.5 kills, barrack 5 kills. The team with the higher total kills will be the winner. The competition uses the “Warcraft III – The Frozen Throne” video game and the mod “Defense of The Ancients”. The competition uses the latest stable map version which is currently the 6.61b. The following game setting will be used by default: Game Mode:–cm. Violating any of the rules from 9-17 and 25 gives your team ONE team penalty Bug and hack or any 3rd party program using will result in a default loss. If you are not sure if something is a bug or not it is your responsibility to find out. Backdooring is forbidden. This means you are not allowed to attack towers or other buildings without creep support. If your Creeps are in the enemy base you are allowed to attack any building inside the base and you may enter the base via any means. You may continue to attack buildings within the enemy base even if your creeps die, however once you leave the base this rule re-applies. You are allowed to attack a deniable tower without any creep support. A deniable tower is defined as having less than or equal to 10% of its maximum HP. A maximum of two Guinsoo’s Scythe of Vyse/ two Euls/ one Euls one Guinsoo are allowed per team. A maximum of two Khadgar's pipe of Insight are allowed per team. Item sharing is strictly forbidden.

You are not allowed to block creeps with the use of spells such as Fissure, Sprout, Summons or any other spells which hinder your own creeps from getting to their destination. However, you may use fissure to completely block a lane outside the base if it's done with the intention of killing a hero or saving an allied one.

A team is also obliged to give a countdown of at least 3 seconds before unpausing. Violent acts during games and flaming. Referees are allowed to issue team penalty if both referees agree on any misconduct behavior not stated above. Teams must save after First Blood and should save frequently during a match in order to compensate for disconnects. If a player disconnects before 10 minutes and before First Blood has occurred, both teams are obliged to load from last savegame. If the game has not been saved yet, a remake must be made. If you remake the game all players must choose exactly the same heroes and same items. Additionally all heroes must be in the same lane as they were for the first game and all wards must be placed on the same places or not placed. After creep contact on the lane you can change lanes. If a player disconnects after First Blood or after 10 minutes both teams may agree to load from last savegame - otherwise both teams must keep on playing without the load. If both teams agree to load, you must load from the latest savegame. A team which has obtained an Advantage (see 21) over the other team since the last save may force a load from last savegame if a player disconnects. An Advantage is defined as follows: If Team A has obtained more than 5 hero kills more than Team B, Team A is counted as having an Advantage. Tower kills count for 3 hero kills and barrack kills count for 5 hero kills when calculating who has the Advantage. If a player disconnects less than two minutes after the last savegame and nothing substantial happened (no herokills , destroyed buildings, killing roshan), you must reload. If a player disconnects and the game is not loaded you are allowed to EITHER Use the hero and ALL his items as they are OR Team sell ALL items from the hero itself. You are not allowed to take the items and sell them from any hero other than the leaver and you are not allowed to take the items and use them on another hero.

SCRABBLE

Venues	IMU
Estimated Duration	8 hours
Participants	4 players, 1 substitute
Rules & Regulations	Each player will be ranked Player A to D. Substitutions of players are based on a push up method ie: the substitute will come in as Player D while the rest of the players will move up accordingly. Player A will play against Player A of the other teams in a round robin format. The winner is the team with the highest score. Each player is given 25 minutes each on the clock in which to complete all his moves Each player who exceeds his/her time will be deducted 10 points for each minute or part of thereof which he has exceeded. To start the game, turned the tiles to face downwards and count the number of tiles to ensure that it is a full set. Each player then draws one tile and the person drawing the letter closest to ‘A’ plays first. The first player puts the letters on the board to make a word, either ‘across’ or ‘down’ (as in a crossword), with one letter of the word on a central square. The score is recorded, including any double or triple allowance for tiles placed on premium squares. The first word always scores double, as the centre square has a ‘double word score’. A bonus of 50 points is awarded to any player who uses all seven tiles in one move. Tile exchange: Instead of playing words on the board, a player may choose to use his turn to exchange one or more tiles provided there are at least 7 tiles in the bag. The player will score zero for that turn. Challenges: A player may challenge any word(s) played by his opponent in the previous turn. Challenge procedure: On taking the decision to challenge, the challenger should call "CHALLENGE" and neutralize the clock at which point the challenge becomes irrevocable. The challenger must state clearly one or several or all of the words formed by the challenged player during the turn just concluded. The word judges will return a ruling as to whether the words challenged are ACCEPTABLE or NOT ACCEPTABLE. If all the words challenged are deemed acceptable (i.e. included in the specified word authorities) the challenge is unsuccessful. Otherwise the challenge is successful and the challenged player must withdraw his play from the board and return any replenishment tiles to the bag. If any of the replenishment tiles have been mixed with leftover tiles, the successful challenger may draw at random the required number of tiles from the challenged player's entire rack and return them to the bag before his opponent withdraws his play from the board. Both players may view the returned tiles before they are replaced in the bag. Where all words challenged are ACCEPTABLE 5 points for every word challenged are added to the score of the challenged player. The word judges must rule only as to whether the challenge as a whole is successful or unsuccessful, and in cases where more than one word is challenged must not indicate whether any particular word is acceptable. The decision of the judges on the success of challenges is final. Players who doubt the accuracy of the judgment may request a recheck, which will be granted at the discretion of the judges. After the challenge is concluded and scores have been recorded, the challenger's clock is started. Overdrawing: It may happen that Player A, on replenishing his rack, draws more tiles from the bag than needed. Suppose the number of excess tiles is N, Player B may pick at random N tiles from the tiles, and return them to the bag. Player A may stop the clock until the excess tile(s) are returned to the bag. Players must not consult any word list, dictionary or any other forms of reference during the game except where specifically permitted by the rules of the tournament.
