The World Universities Debating Championship in Spanish or Campeonato Mundial Universitario de Debate en Español (CMUDE) is the world's largest and most important debating tournament in Spanish. It is a parliamentary debating event, held using the British Parliamentary Debate format. The tournament the winners of the open competition are acknowledged as the "World Champions" of debating in Spanish. The last tournament was held at Universidad del Rosario in Bogotá, Colombia, who won the tournament for the second time in a row. The next ediito will be held at Universidad de Córdoba in Spain. ==Format== The Championship is held in the Northern Hemisphere summer. The competition involves nine preliminary rounds, which become ''power-paired'' as the tournament progresses, matching the strongest-performing teams against each other. Two teams form the ''government'' (''proposition'' in the UK and North America) and two the ''opposition'' in each debate room. The process of scoring and pairing these teams is known as ''tabbing''. The scoring of teams is done by judges, most of whom are students or former students from the competing institutions, who return ''ballots'' with their scores to the adjudication team, led by a Chief Adjudicator who is assisted by one or more deputies. The nine preliminary rounds are followed by a ''break'' at which the teams proceeding to elimination rounds are announced. In the current tournament format, 32 teams proceed to the quarter-finals, with the best 2 from each debate qualifying for the semi-finals, and the best 2 of each semi-final subsequently proceed to the Grand Final. In addition, a public speaking competition is also open to all participants in CMUDE. Since edition held in México in 2014 a Nation's World Cup and a Spanish As a Second Language tournament were introduced. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「World Universities Debating Championship in Spanish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
