Why Choose YYDS Over Other Tournaments?

Student-Led

Student-Led

While YYDS is organized by students, we have the guidance and support of experienced mentors to ensure a well-structured, fair, and professional tournament. This balance allows for a fun and engaging debate environment without compromising on security, equity, and fairness. (Also, better meals?)

Engaging Topics

Engaging Topics

As a student-led competition, we ensure that motions are directly relevant to students' lives, rather than forcing debaters to engage with abstract or overly niche topics that may feel disconnected from their experiences.

Novice-Friendly Experience

Novice-Friendly Experience

Our goal is to make World Schools and British Parliamentary formats more accessible to all. We achieve this by offering affordable workshops and a novice break category, ensuring that new debaters can adapt and thrive in the format.

Diverse Experience

Diverse Experience

YYDS is founded by students who have competed in numerous tournaments and experienced both the best and worst aspects of different events. This competition is designed to highlight the best elements while actively eliminating common issues found in other tournaments.

Recognition

Recognition

Unlike some tournaments where only a few top teams walk away with awards, YYDS believes in recognizing more participants. We aim to provide as many trophies and medals as possible, ensuring that more debaters feel acknowledged for their hard work.

Opportunities

Opportunities

We have integrated key elements from several renowned tournaments (e.g., TSDC, TIDO, FBPO, WSC, NIFTy, TENT, WDO, NSDA etc.) to create an environment that feels familiar yet distinct, allowing participants to compete with confidence while enjoying the best aspects of multiple debate circuits.

Purpose & Goal

The Yoder Youth Debate Series (YYDS) was established with the vision of fostering a dynamic and intellectually stimulating debate culture among students. As a student-led initiative, our primary goal is to make competitive debating more accessible while empowering young minds with the skills needed to engage in critical discussions on global issues.
