@WUDC_Berlin Note that our #WUDC photos are still on Facebook. Might help @FloManGold et al. with the recollecting. Features younger versions of @phi_schr, @maewald, @thorew001, @roetor, @Frau_mit_Hut, @LilitsApfel, @fbubenheimer, @TjHille etc. facebook.com/media/set/?set…

Continuing with some 2013 #WUDC anniversary nostalgia, we have reached the @WUDC_Berlin arrival day, with happy participants, partially dancing in the notorious TU Lichthof, enjoying reg, waffles and glühwein. Meanwhile staff members showed more focused faces.

@FloManGold @WUDC_Berlin @LilitsApfel @maledictus Quite literally

Ten years ago we spent Christmas Eve in Berlin working on @WUDC_Berlin. Adj Core members merrily graded judge tests, the rest of us enjoyed perhaps a little bit of silence before the storm. @LilitsApfel @maledictus #wudc

Get your booster shot, folks.

@achteminute Liebe @achteminute, der Hinweis auf einen Infoslide hilft leider nie. Da wäre dann ein Photo nett. Sonst wissen wir halt doch nicht, was debattiert wird 🦄

#cdhd21 R1: Dieses Haus bereut OnlyFans (inkl. Infoslide)

#WUDC Open Final has been held secretly in separate room behind closed doors, as it was just announced on stage.

For further #WUDC coverage refer to the usual channels as your correspondent is signing off on account of not having access to the ball room next door (but a braai commitment in Stellenbosch instead).

Form of #WUDC protest moved to open discussion, with persons sitting on stage (see previous photo) speaking in turns with others and remaining audience quietly listening. Fanele is representing various official bodies. Protesters seem to mainly reject "pacifying by other blacks".

Roots of protest at #WUDC lie beyond this tournament but specific incidents have escalated the situation. Protesters demand public apology from chiefly white #WUDC2019 OrgCom. Finals venue is to be closed at 7pm (in 30').

Black South Africans (and allies) are staging protest at #WUDC open final, singing and dancing, protesting discrimination. Specific demands were not publicly announced. Participants are being moved out of auditorium. Motion has been released to finalist about 40' ago. #WUDC2019

Berlin gewinnt die Deutschsprachige Debattiermeisterschaft 2018. #ddmjena

Done. #WUDC

Most beautiful #WUDC finals venue yet

#WUDC Championship Dinner is being set up

MDG in address to OrgComm: Almost universal feedback from the most experienced members of the #WUDC community is that this is the best Worlds people can remember. It will proof transformational for debating in the region and it will be remembered as benchmark for a long time.

Hey #WUDC Council people, just fyi: adjourning at 5pm doesn't get you out of dinner at 7pm.

George has added the team points for all #WUDC teams to our data collection on goo.gl/sx2NVA.

#WUDC Council with a view, and several rounds of applause for the Mexican OrgComm
