Thanks!

Octas (Queens v. Yale) is new.

While some rounds are still trickling in, the vast majority of Nats recordings that will likely go up are now available here. Thank you so much to everyone who helped record rounds, and particularly to Beth, without whom many of these recordings would not exist. - Zach

This round is hilarious.

Thanks to Alex Amar &amp; Mitchell Gerskup for recording.

Some new material. More to come as soon as I can convert more content on Vimeo.

From the wayback machine, here come some rounds that I've had on VHS for seven years and finally gotten converted. Because of Vimeo's limits, it's going to be a round a week, but I'm starting with the most interesting rounds (or at least latest) and working backwards. UPDATE (6/17): Now with Semis! UPDATE (6/23): Now with Quarters! UPDATE (9/16): Now with all 8 rounds, #1 through Finals! -Storey Clayton

Thanks to Ashley Woods and Alex Taubes for recording, and to Will Crocker for uploading.

Thanks, Taubes.

Thanks to Will Crocker for uploading everything, and everyone for helping to record.

Thanks, Taubes.

<p>Unless I messed up the code, the first part of the "Best of" results will be visible at</p> <p><a href="http://www.parlidebate.com/bestofapda.php">http://www.parlidebate.com/bestofapda.php</a></p> <p>starting tonight at 5pm Eastern. A new piece of the results will be posted each day at 5pm, until the results for every category have been released. The schedule is as follows:</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0;">Sunday, April 5: Best PMCs</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0;">Monday, April 6: Best LOCs</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0;">Tuesday, April 7: Best MGs</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0;">Wednesday, April 8: Best MOs</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0;">Thursday, April 9: Best LORs</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0;">Friday, April 10: Best PMRs</p> <p>Saturday, April 11: Best Rounds</p> <p>I will not be near my computer tonight at 5pm, but will adjust the results to reflect any submissions made before that time.</p>

Thanks to everyone that has submitted the "Best APDA Rounds" form. Sometime this Sunday I will post a summary of the responses. So if you want to chime in, please do so before Sunday evening. Thanks!

<p>Hey everyone,</p> <p>I think it would be really helpful to highlight some of the best APDA rounds and best individual speeches available on parlidebate.com. I have set up a form so that people can anonymously suggest recordings:</p> <p><a href="http://parlidebate.wufoo.com/forms/parlidebate-round-evaluation-form/">http://parlidebate.wufoo.com/forms/parlidebate-round-evaluation-form/</a></p> <p>Please fill in as much or as little information as you'd like. I want to update the novice section of the website, and I think being able to say "this is one example of what a good MG looks like" will be useful for new teams and new debaters.</p> <p>It will also be interesting to see what the league, or at least the subset of the league that responds, thinks good debate looks like.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Matt</p>

Thanks, Alex.

This is all Alex Amar's doing...

Thanks (again), Alex Amar.

Thanks, Alex Amar.

Most of the rounds from nationals haven't been converted and / or consented to. But check back here frequently - I'll post rounds as they become available.

Thanks, Ryan Menezes.

2 rounds from Worlds, 2 rounds from Northams and 3 rounds from McGill have been added. Thanks to Alex Amar for being awesome.

Thanks to Ryan Menezes, one round from PC is now available. (Another might be coming later).

The final round and one semifinal round from the 2008 NYU tournament are now online thanks to Trevor Gleason.

Thanks entirely to Frank Marsico and Rob Silverblatt, we have three recordings from the first APDA tournament of the new year.

After multiple failed attempts to convert the video, one semifinal round from Fordham is finally available.

<a href="http://www.parlidebate.com/recordings.php?tournament=Worlds&year=2007">9 videos from Worlds</a> are now available. 4 of them were already available in the "Unknown 2007" section of BP, but the rest are new. Thanks to Alex Blenkinsopp for sending them in (a long time ago) and Eric Barnes for doing the recording.

We finally have two long overdue recordings from the Harvard tournament. An octofinal and a quarterfinal round are available below.

Thank Alex Amar (again) for the following round from Hart House.

Alex Amar has generously donated three outround recordings from the Annual Father Roger Guindon Cup at the University of Ottawa. The two parli rounds can be found directly below this paragraph. You can also listen to the <a href="http://www.parlidebate.com/audio/ottawa-2007-ps.mp3">public speaking final</a> on the topic of &quot;Tell us about your arch nemeses.&quot; The final ranking in the round was (1) Alexander Levy, Hart House (2) Saro Setrakian, McGill (3) Adam Gaya, McGill (4) Blair Stein, Carleton and (5) Ethan McCauley, Trinity.

An audio recording of the final round of the 2007 Vassar tournament is now available. On a 4-3 decision, gov won that gang membership should not be criminalized.

Thanks to Adam Goldstein and Matthew Wansley, the final round of the 2007 North American Championship is now available. For those of you who missed the other rounds when they were first added to the site, they're linked to below.

The 2007 Smith tournament ended on a 7-4 decision in favor of Hopkins BC - Chris Baia and Mike Childers. One audio recording from the tournament is currently available. Check back later in the week for (possible) new additions.

The site has undergone a major overhaul, but it's nowhere near completed. Unforseen inputs will break scripts, untested browsers will stumble across design quirks and hastily copied round information will be inaccurate or incomplete. If you find an error or have missing information please <a href="contact.php">let me know</a>. I'd like to improve the site as much as possible, but Gloria and I won't be able to do it alone.</p> <h3>Minor Improvements</h3> <p>There are some minor changes to the site worth a brief mention. The old design broke as soon as text was resized, but the new one expands to accomodate larger text. The old design also used multiple table entries for the same round. E.g., Video 1/2, 2/2 and the audio from nats finals 2007 all had their own place on the Nationals' tournament table. (A table whose font was way too small). Now everything is grouped together for easy access.</p> <h3>Advanced Search</h3> <p>The previous search solution - a google search of site:parlidebate.com - left much to be desired. On the right side of the page underneath the Google-powered &quot;Basic Search&quot; box, you should find a much better way to find rounds on the site.</p> <h3>Feeds that Work</h3> <p>We tried feeds earlier - it sucked. Our hosting company offers this "type stuff here and make a feed" option, and neither of us felt like re-entering data just so the feeds' three subscribers found new rounds 5-10 minutes earlier than they would have otherwise. But now everything is database driven, and the *5* different feeds will be updated automatically. Which reminds me...</p> <h3>Everything is Database Driven</h3> <p>Rounds can now be entered with about a minute of effort. And with the custom-built content management system, non-techy people can do entering and editing using only a browser. This is the bigest structural change to the site, and since it will make it easier to maintain in the future, I think it's the most important.</p> <h3>New Content</h3><p>There are tons of new recordings spread across the non-APDA sections of the site. Alex Amar contributed CUSID rounds, Alex Blenkinsopp sent in BP DVDs and Jason Steck and Danny Cantrell offered up their NPDA recordings. And while APDA might have to wait a little while for new debate rounds, hopefully the new APDA sections of the site will point people towards information they wouldn't have found otherwise. Speaking of new sections, I'll develop a dino directory if enough people express interest. The same is true for any other features you can think up, so <a href="contact.php">start suggesting</a>.</p> <p>I think that's pretty much everything. I hope you like the new functionality, but would <a href="contact.php">love to hear from you</a> if you don't.</p> <p>All the best, <br />Matt
