#6 National University of Singapore 1 (Imran Rahim, Sadhana Rai, Robin Teo), the reigning Asian champion for 3-on-3 debating, will be the only team from Asia in the main semifinals of the 2011 Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships. NUS 1 defeated fellow Asians #3 Ateneo de Manila University in the quarterfinal and will face hot favourites #2 University of Sydney 1.
In the other semifinal, Monash University 1 (Madelaine Schultz, Gemma Buckley, Chris Bisset), who topped the tab, will debate a team from last year's Australs champion Victoria University of Wellington. No team from outside Australia and New Zealand has won the Australs, the world's largest debating competition using the uninterrupted 3-on-3 format, since it started in 1975.
