I will not condemn anyone who is willing to carry out revenge on Auckland Grammar for us, but I will not publicly condone it! OK here's the story - we lost against Auckland Grammar in a very frustrating and heated debate. Let's just say they weren't very well-mannered and seemed to have a superior attitude, but I guess when you attend a school like that it probably grows on you.
The opposing team spent most of the time trying to shut down our definition of the moot, claiming that we expected a 'perfect' prison system when we never said that! They went on about how we didn't establish what exactly constitutes success by providing an exact benchmark, and so that's probably what failed us.
The timekeeper from Auckland Grammar didn't help either. You would've thought they would have been able to afford a bell! But no they just thumped the table and then jingled their keys.
One of the speakers kept saying 'ON THAT POINT' when trying to raise a point of information so we thought during his speech we'd be smart and start saying
ON THAT POINT
Yeah we were all pretty gutted after that debate but Ryan who came to watch our debate took notes and is going to debrief us at lunchtime tomorrow. That's not very comforting! We must've done A LOT of stuff wrong!
Just watch out Auckland Grammar! We'll be seeing and beating you in the finals! (well we hope!)
