The Bristol Juniors Debating Championships is a two-day online tournament in the Junior World Schools format for students aged 7 to 14, run by EduDrift on Zoom and Slack. Five preliminary rounds on the Saturday, including a prepared round and a silent-prep round, then four elimination rounds on the Sunday. Participation and achievement certificates carry the Bristol emblem, and every student gets a commendation letter and written feedback from the international judging panel.
Rounds run on Singapore time from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM each day, which is 4:00 AM to 2:30 PM in Dubai, so it suits our Asia and Gulf students best. Motions are released per round, so most of the debating is impromptu; our four prep hours focus on building a clear case quickly and answering the other side. The schedule on this page shows your own time zone.

EduDriftFrequently Asked Questions
Which students is this for?
Ages 7 to 14, in teams of three. A student who has finished a foundation course, or one term of classes, is ready. Older students should look at the Bristol Schools Debating Championships the weekend before, which is the senior edition.
Is a judge required from us?
No. EduDrift provides the judges, which is why this tournament is priced below the ones where we must send a judge. Our coach briefs the team before each day and is reachable throughout.
