- **Event Name**: [ONLINE] ANU Open
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 pm – Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 am (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: Do you lay awake at night dreading the transition to a whole new format of debating? Do you wonder what the hell a "reply" is? Or do you toss and turn mumbling about a "neg block"? ANU Open can help alleviate these concerns! 

Introducing a brand new tournament on the ANU calendar: this tournament requires teams of FOUR people that will rotate! Each round, a different member of the team will need to adjudicate (and the other three will speak). The tournament will be PRO-AM (minimum 2/4 must be novices), but a full team of novices is also perfectly fine!

DATES: April 25–26
WHERE: Online
FORMAT: Australs (3v3 + replies), cross-institutional teams allowed
TEAM RULES: Pro-am, teams of 4, **maximum of 2 pros per team**
COST: $20 AUD per speaker (80 for a team); judging is FREE

CAs: Xavier Konynenburg, Jade Di Girolamo
DCAs: TBA
Equity: TBA
Tab: Lauren Buckle, TBD
Convenors: Hamish Fragiacomo, Lauren Buckle

Novice definition: You are a novice if you have not spoken at Easters twice, or Australs (or an equivalent regional major), or Worlds once. You are definitely a novice if you are in your first calendar year of university debating.

Details on registration will be made available at a later date. The tournament will be run via Zoom and Discord.
