Weve just been told that in order to compete effectively with WUDC 2017 we need to have a new policy, therefore we have something very special today! It is a message from our CA about a policy they plan to implement at Azkaban WUDC 2017! Please read and discuss this great policy! Dear Debaters, It is a pleasure to address you for the first time in my anonymous forms after many months of slithering around drinking only the blood of unicorns for sustenance. My sorrow that I cannot yet talk to you individually, and openly is mitigated only by my excitement of watching you work out over the next month which excellent means I will be using to return to my old form. Failed attempts have thus far included attaching my own face to the back of a loyal servants snivelling head in order to reach the Philosophers Stone and using a possessed diary to suck the life from a student at Hogwarts. I do, however, need to break through the veil of secrecy with just one announcement. That is as follows. We will be offering a WUDC bid that will be series of tasks instead of the usual debating format. We felt that it was necessary to announce this in the bidding stage, so that debaters can feel they were able to fairly take this into account in their choice, and early in the bidding so that they have adequate time to think, and inevitably, talk, about it. The new format itself is quite simple. Debaters must reg for WUDC 2017 by placing their names in the Goblet of Fire, this constitutes a binding magically legal contract to participate in the competition, or tournament if you will and also means we will not be returning reg fees. They will then have to fight dragons, merpeople and finally get to the middle of a giant maze. It is absolutely imperative that someone gets to the middle of the maze and holds very tightly onto the T̶r̶i̶w̶i̶z̶a̶r̶d̶ ̶C̶u̶p̶ Best Speaker Award. If the winning competitor could also bring that meddlesome Harry Potter with them, they will get extra speaker points and a fantastic prize that were not going to reveal at this time. That is all. No big deal really. We hope that you agree with us that this rule does actually make sense – it makes debates fairer, relieves judges of a sizeable headache and hopefully solves the issue of the unanswered POI once and for all by not having any POIs whatsoever. We look forward to discussing it with you in more detail after our full bid release at the end of November. Yours faithfully, Mystery CA
