WSDC Coaches+NUEDC Champ Win IFF, Top Speaker Tab

A composite team comprising Satrio Adi Pratama (Undip/NUEDC'10 Champ) and current WSDC coaches Eldhianto Jusuf (UGM/IVED'11 Champ) and Ahmad Naufal Dai (UI/FT'09 Champ) won the Indonesian Finance Festival debates after successfully defending the motion "This House Would Re-denominate the Rupiah" in the final on Sunday. Competing under the name "Indonesian Debating Forum", they did not lose a match throughout the competition held by STAN. These three senior debaters also topped the speaker tab together as they ended with the same score.

While they entered the competition as hot favourites, their final match against an all-freshman Universitas Indonesia team consisting of Mahesh Dadlani, Elghafiky Bimardhika and Albert Santoso was no cakewalk. The debate ended with a 6-3 split decision with all three members of the adjudication core dissenting and supporting the spirited newbies.
