From the 14th to the 18th of September 2014, the Red Sea Open 2014 (RSO) will once again take place in Eilat in the south of Israel.

Apart from that, the RSO features workshops offered by experienced debaters covering debate theory as well as various topics relevant to debating. The tournament itself will have 6 preliminary rounds, semi-finals and a final.

The Chief Adjudicator will be Anat Shapira from Israel, who was CA of the Paris Open 2012. The DCA known until now is 2009 World Champion Will Jones from Oxford, another DCA’s name has not yet been announced. Sivan Avitan from Israel will be ACA.
