IVED 2011: UI, ITB, UGM Claim Half of Top 16

Teams from Universitas Indonesia broke first, fourth and fifth into the knockout rounds of IVED 2011. Universitas Gadjah Mada squads were ranked third and seventh while all three teams from Institut Teknologi Bandung also secured their way to the Octofinals by breaking second, sixth and ninth. This means half of the top 16 spots are taken by Indonesia's top three state universities and debating powerhouses. However, this also means novice teams from these schools are not allowed to proceed to the Novice Semifinals. Congratulations to Universitas Hasanuddin A for taking the eighth rank and breaking the UI-ITB-UGM streak.
