The Columbia '''Parliamentary Debate Team''' (or simply '''Parli Debate''' or '''Parli''') competes on the American Parliamentary Debate Association [http://www.apdaweb.org] circuit in a style known as American Parliamentary, which involves no research (as opposed to policy debate) and an emphasis on rhetoric, argumentation style, and creativity. Tournaments are held every weekend on Fridays and Saturdays by other member schools of APDA. Each year, the Columbia team hosts a college tournament and a high school tournament, the latter for which high school students travel to campus to compete in various forms of debate including Lincoln-Douglas and Public Forum.<br />
<br />
Powerful and well-respected in the '90s, the CU team experienced a period of decline starting in 2003, and underwent a very slow and bumpy recovery. Beginning in 2007, however, Columbia teams have routinely advanced to elimination rounds and finals at major tournaments, sent a team the World Universities Debating Championships, and placed as quarterfinalists ('08) and octofinalists ('07, '09) at the APDA National Championships. A former CU debater, Matt Scarola, was elected Member-at-Large on the APDA Executive Board and served as an alumni Trustee from 2009-2010.<br />
<br />
In 2009-2010, Columbia debater Reid Bagwell achieved 2nd Novice of the Year.<br />

The Columbia '''Parliamentary Debate Team''' (or simply '''Parli Debate''' or '''Parli''') competes with elite schools in the American Parliamentary style, which involves no research (as opposed to policy debate) and a lot of wit and thinking on one's feet. Tournaments are usually held on Fridays and Saturdays off-campus, although a few tournaments, large and small, are usually held at Columbia each year. The team has also held campus exhibition rounds on Columbia issues. <br />
<br />
Powerful and well-respected in the '90s, the CU team experienced a period of decline starting in 2003, and underwent a very slow and bumpy recovery. Beginning in 2007, however, Columbia teams have routinely advanced to elimination rounds and finals at major tournaments, sent a team the World Universities Debating Championships, and placed as quarterfinalists ('08) and octofinalists ('07, '09) at the APDA National Championships. Columbia is now once-again represented on the APDA Executive Board; a CU debater was elected Member-at-Large and is currently serving as an alumni Trustee. <br />
