Welcome to the Ghana Novices Debate Championship 2025. Yes, it is online, because apparently the internet is now our natural habitat.

First things first, congratulations on registering. That alone shows bravery, questionable decision-making, and a willingness to argue with strangers for sport. You are in the right place.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Awkward silences when someone forgets to unmute.

• Cameras strategically tilted to avoid showing unmade beds.

• Judges pretending their internet lag is “thoughtful deliberation.”

• And, of course, hours of intellectual chaos dressed up as structured argument.

Remember, this is Novices. Which means you’re allowed to make mistakes. Just not too many, unless you enjoy watching your speaker score plummet faster than one country's power supply (I promise, I won't mention names, I am a man of peace).

So buckle up, adjust your Wi-Fi router, pray to the Discord gods, and prepare for the kind of debating experience that makes you question your life choices in real time.

Welcome aboard. May your arguments be strong, your rebuttals savage, and your internet connection merciful.
