🚀 Registration process
💡 Step 1: Slot order
Each team’s captain or institutional representative registers for their team slots through GMA website.
Make sure the right number of teams/ judges are selected, especially if you are sending multiple teams. You will find an Order Number (E.g. #2150) in your account’s order history after completing the payment. Save the number for Step 2 later.
💡 Step 2: Individual details
Once a team slot is confirmed, an individual details form will be sent to the team representative. Each team’s affiliate debaters and judges should use the Order Number from Step 1 on their forms. Everyone should submit one form independently.

The Yearning Youth Debate Series (YYDS) is a collection of best and most exquisite student-led debate competitions founded by a group of enthusiastic debaters with the aim to promote the craft of argument and critical thinking. Inspired by the Yoder Youth Debate Society (YYDS)—a student-built debate club—the project aims to make World Schools and British Parliamentary debating format accessible to more individuals. By sponsoring high-level debate competitions, we wish to encourage the debaters of the next generation and thinkers—to equip them with the instruments necessary to address tough problems and plead for transformation in an evolving world. YYDS isn’t just another debate tournament—it’s a student-led revolution in debating. Further about this, visit our ABOUT PAGE
