Womens 2006

Hosted by the University of Sydney from the 29th September to the 2nd October. MUDS sent 5 and half teams to compete against some of Australia's strongest debaters in this annual women-only tournament. The contingent returned great results with one team featuring in the Grand Final and two making the semi-finals. Strong performances meant MUDS also occupied the 3rd, 5th and 9th places on the individual speaker tab.
