Bawor Prelims to End Today, UI Pair Bent on Keeping Title

Universitas Indonesia A (Ahdiat Permana, Dimas Hokka) looked set to retain the Bawor Cup champion title after gathering full points (9VP) from the first 3 preliminary rounds. There are 2 more matches to go later today before the break.

The pair won the inaugural edition of this Purwokerto-based, British Parliamentary tournament last year. Hokka just arrived from Seoul where his team became the ESL champions of the 2011 Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships last week. Bawor Cup organizers promise this year's winner can attend the 2011 World Universities Peace Invitational Debate in December without spending a cent on registration, transport and accommodation. They will also finance 2 teams --the best novice team and one made up of the top 2 speakers of the tournament-- to compete in the Kuala Lumpur Open Challenge next August.
