Hi everyone,

We are excited for you to join our tournament! To ensure the tournament to run smoothly, we will need you to fill up this clash form to declare any conflict.

In the context of a debate tournament, a clash (otherwise known as a conflict or a scratch) exists where an individual believes that:

They cannot be impartially adjudicated by a particular adjudicator (for debaters)
They cannot impartially adjudicate a particular team/set of teams (for adjudicators) or
They cannot impartially adjudicate alongside another adjudicator (for adjudicators)
Clashes can exist for either positive or negative reasons; both are of equal importance in weighing whether a clash exists. A (non-exhaustive list) of reasons that could warrant a clash.

Clashes do not exist in the following circumstances (list not exhaustive):
You don't want to go up against specific team
You do not like someone, but that dislike does not amount to a severe interpersonal clash (eg. someone ‘annoys’ you),
You don’t like the arguments that someone makes,
You think it is tactically favorable to clash a judge,
You have been told to clash a judge for strategic reasons, or
You think someone is a bad judge, or disagree with a decision made by a judge (either in a past tournament or at this tournament)

Please submit all clashes by 11.59 pm (GMT+8), 23rd May 2025 (Friday).
