The two last preliminary rounds of the ALSA UI E-Comp in Depok and UMM Engish Fiesta in Malang take place today for varsity and high school categories, wrapping up the first stage of these national-scale debating competitions. The break lists will be out this afternoon and knockouts will start tomorrow.
On the second day of debates at ALSA E-Comp, blackouts at UI's Law School momentarily disrupted the running of the competition. Varsity teams debated prepared economics motions for round three and impromptu topics on religion in the next session.
All teams from the host university are still unblemished going into the fourth round today while squads from debating powerhouses Universitas Gadjah Mada and Binus International need to rebound from losses in round three to secure spots in the knockouts. The high school team prepared for WSDC 2011 yesterday gave a spirited challenge against an experienced UI trio who eventually humbled the teenage stars.
