DELEGATION MATTERS:
- Team size is 3-7 speakers.
- The nation cap is three teams per nation,four if vacancies allow.
- The number of teams you bring must equal the number of judges.
- We cannot fully predict the size of the local judges’ pool, so the teams with many judges will be preferred
- Please note that inactive delegation members (non-speakers, non-coaches/judges) are required to sign up as observers.
VISA MATTERS:
Please contact your local, as well as the German authorities in your country for visa prerequisites. There is nothing we can't provide you with, but occasionally we may be unable to send it in time. Please let us therefore know as soon as possible what you need.See this list of countries that require entry visa and most likely an invitation letter from us. The link includes application forms as well. If you need an invitation letter, please leave dates of birth of your whole delegation in our registration form as well.
TRANSPORT AND ACCOMMODATION MATTERS:
The transfers during the tournament will be organised by Debating Society Germany, however, collection for the transfers takes place from the youth hostel in Stuttgart. On most tournament days, teams will travel to different venues, so you may want to have as many adults (e.g. judges) as teams. Judges will be assigned to the teams. If you wish to arrange your accommodation privately, you may choose to participate without accommodation provided by us, as we cannot provide accommodation other than that indicated, but you will have to come to the departure point (hostel) for the transfers to the venues. If you plan to arrive earlier than November 7th or leave later than November 13th and stay at the hostel, we can provide rooms for the extra night. However, you will need to cover the expense incurred (€25 per night per person).
