Tryouts are required and held only once a year. In previous years we have had as many as 100 people try out for the team. Generally the team accepts between 10 and 15 new debaters each year, though some of the team’s most talented debaters came to tryouts with no prior experience. Contact debate(at)jhu(dot)edu for additional information.
The team holds a demo round every year for the benefit of those interested in learning more about the team and trying out.This year's demo round will be held on September 3rd at 7:00 pm in Maryland 110. Anyone interested in learning more about the team or parliamentary debate is encouraged to attend. The round should last about an hour.
