It is always calm before a storm. There is no debate competition in Indonesia in Ramadan, which squarely falls in August this year, but the season will resume in force next month with magical motions and world class adjudicators. The two tournaments in September will use the British Parliamentary format, the choice of most comps until the World Universities Debating Championships at the turn of the year.
The Just For Fun debates at Universitas Indonesia will be the opener and organizers plan to use topics based on the Harry Potter novels. Muggles, Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic will be standard words in this tourney. The September 10-11 competition will have 3 preliminaries before the best 8 can proceed to the semifinals. Registration is still open. Click this for inquiries.
Two days after JFF, the most ambitious debating competition in Indonesia will kick off at Binus International University with WUDC 2012 Chief Adjudicator Lucinda David and her deputy Tim Mooney as part of the adjudication core. Schools from all over Asia first showed huge interest to join the BIND Championships but a few of them have pulled out, allowing committed institutions to send more teams. The registration is still open until August 30. High school students and composite teams can register.
