Become a Debater
Thank you for your interest in becoming a debater with the league
​
​
After you complete the application, you will be contacted to take part in a live stream interview with Commissioner Solar. After you introduce yourself to the SVDL family, you will be asked to present a 5 minute PowerPoint presentation on a topic of your choice. Solar will then interrogate you on different topics to test your mental toughness and ability to communicate. This is meant to be challenging and entertaining. Solar will then “release the hounds” in which several debaters will interrogate you in a rapid-fire segment. This is your time to shine and show you belong in the league. Lastly there will be a majority rules vote among the commissioner, peers and viewers to determine if you will be initiated in the league.
​
It is of the utmost importance that debaters of SVDL follow the code of conduct including the following:
-
ï‚· Be prepared, punctual and ready to debate.
-
ï‚· Refrain from any, and all harassment, discouraging language and slander toward others.
-
ï‚· Show capability to be a good sport if you win or lose.
​
​
Good luck and we look forward to welcoming you to SVDL.
