Novice Brooks Quimby Debaters faced off against one another today in the team's annual intramural Novice Tournament. Six novice teams competed in three preliminary rounds, and the top two teams advanced to a final round. This year's final round between first-years Spencer Collet '13 and Ben Smith '13, and Catherine Djang '13 and Eric Devaux '13 centered on a proposal by Collet and Smith to televise the executions of prisoners given the death sentence. A seven-member judging panel awarded the final round to Djang and Devaux. Djang was also the tournament's top speaker.
