Freedom of Speech - 4 -------> General Rules

Hello everybody!!! This blog is to inform you all about Freedom of Speech.
Date: 13th September, 2008, Saturday
Time: 3PM
Venue: D-6, Kathajori Campus (Campus-3)

Rules:
There will be 8 teams shortlisted based on answers given to the caselets posted on the blog. In the 1st Stage, there will be 4 rounds, each consisting of 2 teams. The 2 teams in that particular round will fight it out on a topic given to them just half-an-hour before. Whoever wins that round goes to the next stage. The other team is eliminated.

In the 2nd Stage, there will be 2 rounds, each again consisting of 2 teams and they will again fight it out on a new topic. The winner of each round of the 2nd stage goes to the 3rd and final stage.

In the final stage, the 2 teams will fight it out for the Championship on a new topic again. The winner of the final stage will be declared the Champions and the other team will be the runners-up.

Each round will go on for around 7 minutes.

Teams which will not be among the 8 shortlisted ones are welcome to be present on 13th September at D-6 because, for all that I know and expect, this is going to be interesting and even the audience will be asked for their opinions on the topics being debated upon. And yes, there are prizes to be won too.

Anyways, these were the general rules of the competition. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi. Take care. Chow!!!
