#1 UI A (Ahdiat Permana & Dimas Hokka) are the masters of Bawor Cup. They defended their title last night in the final of the tournament's second edition against #3 UI C (Egalita Irfan & Indra Kusuma), #4 Universitas Gadjah Mada A (Ika Septihandayani & Eldhianto Jusuf) and #15 Sekolah Tinggi Akuntansi Negara A (By Charles Butarbutar & Hendy Prihambudi). Bawor Cup started last year to bring top Indonesian debaters to the Purwokerto region, where debating is under-developed.
For Hokka, the victory was his second trophy in as many weeks after championing the ESL category of the 2011 Australasians Intervarsity Debating Championships last week. He is now bent on scoring a hattrick in the 2011 Java Overland Varsities English Debate that will start tomorrow in Yogyakarta.
The UI team won the prize to compete in the prestigious 2011 World Universities Peace Invitational Debate in December fully financed by Bawor Cup sponsors. Organizers also promised to send the top 2 speakers to the Kuala Lumpur Open Challenge in August and that honor went to the UGM pair who came first and second on the tab. A team from Purwokerto's Universitas Jenderal Soedirman, which championed the novice category, will also go to KLOC next month.
