The UCC Philosophical and Law Societies will host the 29th World Universities Debating Championships. A close vote saw the Cork bid win out over a strong challenge from Botswana. Derek Lande will be the CA for Cork Worlds and Art Ward will be the convenor.
Logan was to CA the Botswana bid, but he was announced well after the start of UBC worlds, and the lack of clarity about the adjudication team made it difficult for them to convince many A-status nations to vote for them.
Hopefully Botswana will consider bidding again next year, as many aspects of their plans looked spot on.
For now though, congratulations to Derek, Art, and Cork.

Congratulations to UCC on their success - it's been soooo long since the last Irish Worlds ;-). Seriously, I'm sure Derek, Art and the team will do a fantastic job. Congratulations to to all breaking teams - with no instituational bias!
Cork Worlds?! Fantastic. Bring it on!
