Princeton Worlds was held using the APDA style of debate rather than the British Parliamentary style. Swarthmore is listed as having sent three teams: "Swat A," "Swat B," and "Peaslee A." There is no information available on the names of the debaters for the A and B teams, nor on the adjudicators that Swat presumably also sent to Princeton Worlds.
