At this point we are not going to explain in detail what is debating. The format of the tournament will be British Parliamentary (Worlds' style). For some basic information about the format you can visit MGIMO Debate Club's web-site: "Tutorials" contain the rules and some helpful materials for novice debaters; in "Useful Links" you can find links to a number of resources dedicated to debating.

Closer to the tournament we will publish more detailed rules of the tournament. If you have any questions regarding the rules do not hesitate to contact our organizing committee mgimodc@hotmail.com
