Debate TAB Training Boosts Members Tournament Organization Skills 2023-24
DPS Modern Indian School's Debate Club conducted an online training session on the 16th of April. The session, entitled 'TAB Training: How to TAB a debate tournament using Tabbycat’, aimed to train experienced members of the debate club. Krish Nagrani of Class XII-J led the training session, which was attended by six members of the debate club Mehull Girdhar, Surya Kauthik Basangi, Nikkil D’cruz, Archit Chhikara, Gargee Vivek Kanade, Prithwiraj Purkait and the coach, Ms. Jaya Majumder.
The debaters were introduced to the key aspects of organizing a debate tournament, specifically from the tabulation committee's perspective. The debaters gained insight into the software ‘Tabbycat’ and became familiar with its features. They were taught how to configure, operate, and manage a debate tournament using this software. Additionally, they were provided with knowledge of challenges faced during the tabbing process and were taught methods to overcome them.
The training helped the debaters gain deeper knowledge and understanding about tabbing a tournament. This newfound knowledge can be put to use during upcoming intra-club events and other activities that the debate club will conduct in the future.
