ALSA UI E-Comp 2014: Aceh High School Challenges Bali Reign

Debaters from SMA Modal Bangsa who traveled from the westernmost province of Aceh led the break list in the high school category of the 2014 ALSA UI English Competition. It is the first team from outside Bali that could achieve the feat since 2010. For the last three years, teams from Bali island had the best preliminary round record and cruised all the way to the throne. There is still a chance for a Bali school to continue that streak as a team from powerhouse SMA 4 Denpasar broke second. The elimination rounds start tomorrow. Here are the 16 teams that sail into the octofinals of this year's edition of the most prestigious institution-based high school debate tournament in Indonesia.

UGM Wins All-Yogyakarta Final in SKEPTIC 2014

Universitas Gadjah Mada 1 (Alif Satria & Kartika Hananto) championed the 2014 SKEPTIC debate after defeating 3 other teams from Yogyakarta, where the event was held. The finalists were Universitas Sanata Dharma 1 (Tethy Pesoa & Sekartiyasa Kusumastuti), Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta 1 (Puguh Hariyanto & Retno Rahma Safitri) and an UGM-Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta hybrid (Meganusa Ludvianto & Gratsia Kancanamaya). Alif Satria also topped the speaker tab.

Although SKEPTIC was billed as nationwide, no strong participant from out of the city showed up largely due to the competition's clash with the 2014 ALSA UI E-Comp, the country's longest running English debate tournament, which started on Friday.

The ex-ITB debater also topped the speaker tab.

In the final, they defeated opponents from  reigning champion Universitas Gadjah Mada (Muhammad Fidhzariyan & Sufi Adenda), host Universitas Brawijaya (Muhammad Fahri & Leiditya Naristi) and a hybrid team consisting of Universitas Bakrie veteran debater Aryo Febrian (Universitas Bakrie) and his mentee Septian Wijayanti from Politeknik Negeri Malang.
