DOTY 2011 Nears End with All-Male Top 10

Roderick Sibarani

Roderick Sibarani from Universitas Indonesia and Rifan Ibnu Rahman from Institut Teknologi Bandung are leaving the others behind in IndoDebate's Debater of the Year table as 2011 reaches its last month. The latest list incorporated results from 3 competitions in November with national appeal -- EU-IDC, Progressive, and Founders Trophy. There were other tournaments that occurred in Indonesia last month but they did not reach out from the host city, rendering them as local comps.

Roderick not only won Progressive, his third trophy in 2011, but also topped the speaker tab. No other debater has won more than 2 trophies this year. Rifan holds another record after he made it to the last debate of FT. It was his sixth grandfinal appearance this year and he is alone with that feat. But, like his 4 other penultimate debates, it ended without a victory. Non-student debaters championed that comp and swamped the top end of the individual list. As it stands now, the top 10 on the DOTY 2011 list are all boys. Will this trend last for another month? Click here for complete list.
