European Schools Debating Championship (EuroSDC)
[edit]The European Schools Debating Championship (EuroSDC) is an annual debating competition in English. It is open to high school teams from all European countries.[1]
Format
[edit]Debates at EuroSDC use the same format as the World Schools Debating Championship[2], called the 'World Schools Style Debating'[3][4]. Each debate has two teams, the Proposition and the Opposition. Three members from each team speak in each round, delivering a total of six eight-minute substantive speeches. Then, each team delivers a 4-minute "reply speech".
The tournament includes six preliminary rounds in which all teams participate. Two preliminary rounds are always prepared, using either one motion or two separate motions. The rest of the preliminary rounds and all elimination rounds are debated impromptu, with motions announced 60 minutes ahead of the round.
Past Championships

Novice Category
[edit]A Novice Final might also be held during a specific edition of the tournament. In order to qualify as a Novice speaker, a speaker needs to have started debating in the concurrent or previous school year to the EuroSDC edition they are debating at. To qualify as a Novice team, all speakers must meet the criteria for Novice speakers.
