NUDC 2013: Binus Scores Hat-trick, Unila Wins Novice Prize

The 2013 NUDC champions Universitas Bina
Nusantara - Invi Atmanegara & Jaran Walia

The national British Parliamentary debating crown went to Universitas Bina Nusantara for the third time in a row. Invi Atmanegara and Jaran Walia secured it yesterday after winning the 2013 National University Debating Championship in Palembang for the Jakarta-based university. They also became the first debaters to marry the national titles for BP and 3-on-3 formats. Representing their club Binus International Pool of English Debaters (BIPEDS), the pair and their teammate Andrew Sadeli championed the 3-on-3 Indonesian Varsities English Debate last January.

The hat-trick, however, belongs to the Binus family, not BIPEDS. There are two active debating institutions in the Binus University system, which take turns in competing in the state-sponsored national BP tournament. The education ministry allows only one team to represent a college in the event. The much-older Bina Nusantara English Club (BNEC) took part last year and defended the title that BIPEDS grabbed in 2011. Invi, a former captain of BIPEDS, also took home the best speaker award.

In yesterday's final #2 Binus, speaking from Opening Opposition, knocked down the motion "This House would only allow individuals who have held a position in the governmental structure to run as a presidential candidate" and defeated opponents #3 Universitas Gadjah Mada (Amir Abdul Aziz & Nabila Aghniarizqa), #4 Institut Teknologi Bandung (Fauzan Reza Maulana & Vicario Reinaldo) and #5 Universitas Bakrie (Aryo Febrian Moedanton & Alifia Firliani). The champions along with second and third winners, Bakrie and ITB respectively, are eligible to receive funding to compete in the 2014 World Universities Debating Championships in Chennai.

#1 Universitas Indonesia (Roderick Sibarani & Egalita Irfan) crashed in the semifinal but also received the golden ticket to WUDC. The ministry decided this year to give the fourth ticket to the top team on the tab rather than the novice champion, which was the recipient in past years.

The winner of the lower novice category this year was #3N Universitas Lampung (Hesti Setyawati & Vianna Maria Ursula). They outperformed #1N Politeknik Negeri Semarang (Laela Ratna & Akbar Prabowo), #2N Universitas Surabaya (Natasha Christina & Jorgy Purnomo) and #4N Universita Khairun Ternate (Indry Anwar & Jasmal Martora) in the novice final. Bahram Naderil from Universitas Jember grabbed the best novice speaker prize.

NUDC 2013: Teknokrat Rule in Sumatra's Region II Stays

UI's Roderick Sibarani Regains DOTY 2011 Lead

Roderick Sibarani from Universitas Indonesia is back at the top of IndoDebate's Debater of the Year 2011 list after winning the ASEAN Youth Debate in Bandung earlier this month. He lost his lead last month after being ahead since May. The October list incorporated results from 2 tournaments, AYD and the E-Fest 2011 at Universitas Lampung. It does not include the Newbies Competition and Malang's English Parade because both contests limited participation based on non-competitive factors. The first was exclusively for college students without varsity debating experience while the latter only took debaters from three provinces.

AYD was country-based but to receive seats in the Indonesian team debaters had to undergo a national selection. Several debaters who were not in the official Team Indonesia also received points because they joined as non-breaking participants and finished at the top end of the speakers list. The DOTY 2011 list is still prone to changes as several tournaments await in November and December, including UI's Founders Trophy, the oldest British Parliamentary debate in Indonesia that is expected to attract the nation's top debaters.

The top 5 debaters who currently lead the DOTY list are:
1. Roderick Sibarani (UI)
2. Rifan Ibnu Rahman (ITB)
3. Satrio Adi Pratama (Undip)
4. Dimas Hokka (UI)
5. Luthfi Abdurrahman (ITB)

E-Fest 2011 Motions

E-Fest 2011, Sumatra's first nationwide British Parliamentary debating competition, had some interesting motions. Below are the complete list.

R1 THW criminalize parents who send their LGBT children to be cured without the children's consent
R2 THW allow drunk individuals to drive auto pilot cars
R3 THBT individuals in extreme stravation should be allowed to commit cannibalism
R4 THBT the West should stop imposing sanctions on Myanmar
R5 THW require victim's consent upon declaring an amnesty

Key Results from Nationwide E-Fest 2011 @ Lampung

Sumatra island's first nationwide British Parliamentary debating competition, E-Fest 2011, showed the existing wide gap between teams from Java and the rest of the country.

The only Sumatrans who came home with prizes were high school students whose category had no Java participants. The key results are as follows:  
  
Champions: Binus University A (Radite Adjie & Enricko Lukman)
