Any debaters in the house? (no pun intended)

Okay... I know a lot of you are in high school, or perhaps college, and many of you at least got through one or both of those at some point.

My question: have any of you participated in formal debate?

I've done so since the tenth grade in my high school club, losing every round in my first tournament and eventually winning a city-level championship in my senior year, only to enter first-year university and start all over again. I bring up this topic now because I've just spent the past weekend at my first intervarsity tournament, in which I placed around the middle of the pack... man, discussing Arafat and the WTO and minimum prison sentences and appointed judges and extremist political parties and the like for a few days in a row is an extraordinarily tiring experience.

So, I guess I'll open the floor. Any other debaters here?
