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.
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, CU teams have routinely advanced to elimination rounds 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. Additionally CU debater was elected Member-at-Large to the APDA Executive Board and is currently serving as a Trustee.
