WSDC Greeks at 6-0 Ballots!

Debating is still the only sport where we can score like that, I'm afraid.

I am pleased to announce that the Greek WSDC team, featuring our very own George Constaninidis and Mike Yioutsos, has by now plowed through Germany and Lithuania, winning 3-0 ballots in both rounds. Panagiotis, who was originally selected to the team as well, is probably too busy celebrating his own Oxford business to regret not being there. But yeah, we would have liked to see that.

In detail:

ROUND 1: This House would place a worldwide ban on the use of civil nuclear energy.
Germany v. Greece (0-3)

ROUND 2: This House believes that full-time students should take part in compulsory charity work.
Greece v. Lithuania (3-0)

36 teams, representing such unlikely places as Lesotho and Sri Lanka, are slugging it out at the WSCD, which is set to run in Cardiff, Wales until the 14th of July.

The rest of our kids' schedule is as follows:

ROUND 3: This House believes that captured terrorists should be treated as prisoners of war.
Greece v. Wales

ROUND 4: Impromptu motion to be announced
USA v. Greece

ROUND 5: This House supports the international trading of pollution quotas
New Zealand v. Greece

ROUND 6: Impromptu motion to be announced
Greece v. Argentina

ROUND 7: This House believes that search engines should boycott China until it allows its citizens unrestricted access to the Web
Greece v. Sri Lanka

ROUND 8: Impromptu motion to be announced
Hungary v. Greece

I hope you will join me in wishing the guys and gal the best of luck, and start preparing for when they bring the cup home.
