Since yesterday, December 5th, 2016, judge test and debating and judging manual (to be read before completing the test) of the upcoming Dutch WUDC 2017 are available online. Consisting of a video debate and a multiple choice section, the test has to be completed by all participating judges before December 22nd 23:59 (GMT). Failure to do so will, according to the organizers, result in a “noticeable impact [on one’s] allocation to rooms in the competition.” Further, it has been announced that the Warsaw Speaker Scale will be applied throughout the tournament.

Also, all judges have kindly been asked to enter any clashes into Tabbie.
