Debating online might seem intimidating or like it's missing the social elements that make debate so fun and life-changing. When we're already spending so much of our time attached to our screens, is it really worth it to spend even more time in the Zoomiverse competing at debate tournaments? According to these three Wyoming debaters, the answer is a resounding yes! Becca Campbell (Thunder Basin class of 2020), Makayla Kramer (Rock Springs class of 2020), and Joshua Mitchell (Cheyenne East class of 2019) attended their first tournament of the season this past weekend. Becca went to the Carroll College tournament and competed in British Parliamentary debate, and Makayla and Josh attended the Northwestern season opener competing in policy debate. Makayla and Josh also won the JV division of their tournament! This is Josh's second online tournament and Makayla's third. In the three-minutes-or-less videos linked below, they talk about how they felt about debating online, and their top tips for succeeding in online debate. Becca Campbell (Thunder Basin '2020) on why you should attend an online debate tournament. Mack Kramer (Rock Springs '2020) on why you'll do awesome at your first online tournament. Josh Mitchell (Cheyenne East '2019) on how to work with your partner at online tournaments.
