The March Debate Madness tournament is an individual, head-to-head, single-elimination debate tournament. First prize is $1000, second is $500, and third is $250. (All amounts are pre-tax.)

There is no prep required. You will show up at your assigned 20 minute time slot and toss a coin to decide who will take the pro side and who will take the con. Then, you will select a debate prompt from a hat. All prompts ask you to debate a topic in business ethics by drawing on a principles-based ethical perspective. You'll formulate your ideas in 5 minutes immediately before your debate starts.

The tournament will run on the following four Tuesday evenings: 2/25, 3/4, 3/11, and 3/18 from 6:00-8:30 pm in Koelbel. Grab-and-go food will be provided starting at 5:30 pm. The tournament is open to all current CU undergrad students, including those outside of Leeds. 

Please sign up   by Feb. 21st to be placed into a debate bracket. You will receive an email prior to the event. You must confirm your participation by responding to that email. If you do not confirm, you will be placed into a stand-by participant pool. If you show up without confirming, we will do our best to accommodate your participation; but you will not be guaranteed a spot in the tournament.
