20 Wrestlezone members square off in a fight for the best debater on the forum. No, this is not some lame Stone Cold Steve Austin movie, this is the real deal. Over the next 11 weeks, each member of the debates will be given a new topic with which they will battle their opponents. Topics will be presented to the contestants from a wide array of wrestling corners. Each contestant should be skilled in international, independent, old school, and general wrestling knowledge to compete.
The Debaters
The 20 debaters will be split into two conferences. The conferences are Omega and Alpha. Over the first 9 weeks, the debaters will face members of their conference and be judged by our team of judges. After the regular season, the top two debaters from each conference will then compete in a playoffs system, with the final being between the representatives of Alpha and Omega. The winner will then be crowned and be given at least one bar room thread of celebration.
The Judges
I have selected a good crop of judges to access each debate carefully. The come from different fields of wrestling knowledge and together we will be able to judge each debate.
Judge #1: Echelon- The man knows more about womens wrestling than you know about your own sexual organ. He has been chosen as he is a long time member of the forum, as well as a former staff member.
Judge #2: Tdigle- Smarts, and wit. He could tell you everything you needed to know about what happens in the land of the rising sun. He has been chosen on his wide array of foreign wrestling knowledge.
Judge #3: Marquis- Independents and ROH. I am sure with those letters, you could spell Marquis. Actually, you couldnt. Not even close. But still, the man knows his stuff. He has been chosen because of this knowledge and his very unbiased judging skills.
Judge #4: Luther- The Admin. Want to bad mouth a result? Then you will lose everything. Want to be a poor sport? You wouldnt be playing football in Newcastle after he is done with you. Every competition needs a great general wrestling judge, and he is the man for the job.
Judge #5- TM- The sexiest, smartest, smuggest, son of a bitch this side of Saskatoon. He is the man that put this together, and he is the man who will decide your fate. Been watching wrestling since the day I was born, and is equipped with knowledge dating back to the territories.
So these are the men (because I am sexist) that will judge your fate. The will not take bribes, they will not be biased, and they will pick the WrestleZone Debaters Champion.
The Debates
You will be given the topics on Sunday, and the home side gets to decide which side of the debate they will take. Debates have been designed for you to argue a this or that topic. The home team also gets to decide who goes first in the debate. After getting the topic, the home side must choose who will go first, and which side they will debate within the first 24 hours. The first debate must then be up within 24 hours after that debate. Debaters have 24 hours after the other persons debate, but I warn you that you should debate faster than that to score higher point totals.
Each judge will give you a score out of 5, thus, you can receive 25 possible points in the debate.
