Hey guys! Do you remember that great game we had going a couple months ago? It alone convinced me to join as a member and now sadly it has come to a screeching halt.

Check it out:

http://www.pickuphockey.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3766&SearchTerms=The+Great+Debate

Basically we get 8 members to compete in a debate contest. Each contestant has three posts (alternating between himself and his opponent) to debate a topic thrown out at the beginning of each round. Members of the game vote at the end to see who moves on. We keep doing this until we have our winner!

Here's a look at one of the old debates to get an idea:

So how about it - do I have any takers??

Ah the memories! That game really was the turning point in my career on this website.

I'd love to join, count me in! I hope guys like fat_elvis_rocked and 99pickles join, their genious is way up there but unfortunately they don't post so often. Slozo, andyhack and SuperSakic are also names that jump to mind, it would be nice to have you boys back for this one!

On a seperate note, I'm starting another debate tomorrow in my blog (trying to reproduce the effects of the 'Most Dominant Athlete' debate, but I can say off the bat that the opinion pool probably won't be as deep for this one) and I'd like to get through that before starting something here; but I'm in and I'm ready!

Post-Script: I'm trying hard to get Steve Dangle (check him out on YouTube) to join our site. Hopefully he can be a member in this. Time will tell...

Apparently it's a slow season... So far we only have two members, Alex and 99pickles, and one ombudsman (ahem )

Unless things pick up at PickUpHockey, I'll start this debate contest with four people and we can have a round robin, or if no one else joins we could just have a best-of-three debate contest between 99pickles and Alex.

Guys, don't let it get to that!

Last call! If no new members join I'll be forced to have a round-robin with Pickles, Alex and Fat Elvis.

The winners of the most debates will square off in the finals.
