Debating is one of the most exciting and rewarding activities one can get involved with. The International Independent School's Public Speaking Competition is one of the biggest and most prestigious Public Speaking contests in the world, and is organised annually in North America
It was in the hopes of allowing enthusiastic students to demonstrate their talents as well as to strengthen the relationship between private schools across Canada that the IISPSC was created under the direction of John Aimers. In 1982 he and John Messenger organized the first tournament of this sort. Held at St. John's Ravenscourt School in Winnipeg, Manitoba, it proved to be a great success. Encouraged by this result, the organizers decided to make the competition an annual event. As its popularity grew, American students were seen more and more often. By now, the IISPSC has prospered to such an extent that in recent years, even schools from as far away as the United Kingdom, Argentina, and Cyprus have begun to send competitors regularly. Consequently, the tournament is also recognized for its ability to help create new friendships among students from different geographical regions, thus bringing together the international community from the level of today's youth.
Event Description
The annual tournament of the IISPSC extends over a 5 day period, routinely hosted on the 3rd weekend in October by a member school in North America. In recent years the event has attracted 165 competitors representing 45 Independent Schools from Canada, the United States, England, Bermuda, Argentina, Scotland and Cyprus. North American member schools may send 1 team, composed of 3 representatives and overseas schools may send 2 teams for a total of 6 competitors. Students participate in 3 events, but may not choose more than 1 event in any of the following categories.
Category I: Impromptu Speaking, Extemporaneous Speaking
Category II: Parliamentary Debate, Newscast
Category III: After-Dinner Speaking, Persuasive Speaking
Category IV: Interpretive Reading, Drama, Cross-Examination Debating
Guidelines for each event, as well as the rules governing the competition, can be seen by clicking on the above categories. After 2 rounds of competition, high-scoring speakers in each event proceed to the final round which determines the winner in each event. From the scores in the regular round, the overall ranking is determined. This overall ranking is used to select one-half of the Canadian and American teams which will attend the Individual World Debating and Public Speaking Championships.
The 2003 tournament will be hosted by Crofton House School, in Vancouver. The organiser is Mr N. Szymanis. Any debate coach from an English-speaking school anywhere in the globe interested to join the League should get in contact the soonest! |
