Teams from the Binus University group won the past two Greater Jakarta regional selections before they both eventually claimed the national BP debating title. The 2013 team (Invi Atmanegara & Jaran Walia) continued the first part of the streak today, overcoming challenge from Universitas Indonesia (Egalita Irfan & Roderick Sibarani) in the final.
Binus International Pool of English Debaters (Bipeds) and Bina Nusantara English Club (BNEC) take turns in representing Binus in the National Universities Debating Championships. It is Bipeds time this year. The Binus-UI rivalry is expected to continue in the nationals next month.
The two other teams in the Region 3 final were dark horse Institut Pertanian Bogor and Universitas Pelita Harapan, a school that failed to reach the semifinals last year. Besides the four colleges, semifinalists Universitas Atma Jaya, Universitas Bakrie, Universitas Paramadina and Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa are also eligible to proceed to the big debate.
The division of the regions follows the Kopertis system,
which is the way private Indonesian universities are regionally
monitored. Each of the 12 regions can send the best 8 teams to the
nationals, which will have 96 squads -- 192 debaters and 96 N1
adjudicators.
