WUDC 2010 Break details

Some details of the break at Koc World Universities Debating Championships are coming in on Twitter and various websites

According to Tuna at Global debate the break is (with some corrections):

MAIN BREAK
Oxford A 24pts
Harvard A 23pts
Sydney A 22pts
LSE A 21pts
Sydney C 21pts
AIMU A 21pts (should that be ADMU Ateneo De Manila University A)
Monash B 21pts
Sydney D 20pts
Monash A 20pts
MIT A 20pts
Cambridge A 20pts
Oxford C 20pts
Kings Inn A 20pts
McGill A 20pts
Hart House A 19pts
Queensland A 19pts
Oxford B 19pts
Cambridge B 19pts
Cambridge C 19pts
Stanford A 19pts
Yale A 19pts
AMU A 19pts (should that be ANU A)
Melborne B 19pts
UBC A 19pts
UNSW A 19pts
Queensland D 19pts
Queens A 19pts
Queensland B 18pts
????? A 18pts (looks line Victoria Wellington A)
Yale C 18pts
Sydney B 18pts
???? A 18pts (looks like Auckland A)

I'm going to stick my neck out and correct AMU A to ANU A and AIMU to Ateneo ADMU.  I've heard else where ANU broke and Ateneo were looking odds on to break after round 6. Also I have never heard of AMU or AIDM so lets go with that.

I'm told by Eric Barnes that Yale C broke and not Yale B.  I've corrected that on the list

According to Jenna at http://www.raeburnapple.blogspot.com/ The two missing teams are Victoria Wellington A in 30th on 18 points and Auckland A in 32nd also on 18 points.  That means the info on Princeton A might be wrong and that Yale C might be 29th rather than 30th (people I trust, i.e. Eric, seem certain that Yale C broke)

ESL BREAK
Ljubljana A 17pts
Athens A 16pts
Haifa A 16pts
Bonaparte A 16pts
Rijeka A ????? 16pts
Griston A ???? 16pts
Tel Aviv A 15pts
AIUM B 15pts
Erasmus A 15pts
LUMS B 15pts
Ljubljana C 15pts
????? A 15pts
Belgrade A 14pts
???? A 14pts
LUMS A 14pts
???? Turkey??? 14pts

EFL Break
Stuttgart A 14pts
Marino??? B 13pts
Zagreb Law A 13pts
Zagreb A 13pts
BFGSU A 13pts
BIU ??? A 13pts
SPLIT C 13pts
MCKEE B ???? 13pts


There was some confusion early on on the break but I think we have the main break fairly complete now.  Apparently someone was trying to spread misinformation about the break and an early list contained teams who did not break. Apologies for any confusion.  I have learned not to trust Twitter.  Next year I'll either be there myself or have someone there reporting back.

I have e-mailed Can for an official copy of the break.  Hopefully we'll have that in the morning.

That's all for tonight.  Hope you enjoyed the coverage as it flowed in.  Thanks to all those who commented, e-mailed. twittered and blogged especially Tuna who beat me to publishing the tab this year after I beat him for the past couple of years.  Good healthy rivalry on New Years Eve ;-)

Happy New Year

    Canada broke at least three. Possibly as many as 5.

    Thanks Billy, I think we (or at least I) have learned tonight that twitter is no replacement for eyes on the ground. People know the world is watching and can decide to have a little fun spreading misinformation. Next year I'll either be in Botswana myself or have someone there reporting back as I did in previous years.

    I am hearing two yale teams broke, Grand and Steven (I think Yale A) and another, Pam and Tess (dont know what letter)

    Grant, not Grand, and I believe Pam and Tess were Yale C

    Yale A is Grant and Steven, but yes.

    Jack G of the two Jacks in Camb B has been on the phone to his school coach who has been talking to me on Facebook - and he is sure they have broken if that helps!

    I think AIMU might be Ateneo ADMU. Also that AMU A should be ANU A

    Can anyone confirm

  16. Cc11:43 pm

    Two Queensland As. One of those should be Queensland B

    I believe Princeton A may be one of the missing teams if earlier reports of them breaking are accurate.

    Thanks for keeping us informed Colm. Twitter failed us. You'll just have to come to Botswana in 2011.

    Any word on public speaking?

    According to CUSID among the public speaking finalists are:

    Robert Lees Miller
    Iain Ireland
    Chris McMillan

  22. Cc12:24 am

    Yes 12 Australians and we were previously told only 11.

    The flow of information from the Turkish beach seems to be drying up. I'll e-mail Can and ask for an official copy of the break. Hopefully a 100% complete list will come out overnight.

    What about the public speaking break? I understand that the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, has three speakers in the final.

    I heard on good authority that Vic A broke at 29 or 30 and Auckland A at 32.

    In the ESL Break are Greifswald A with 16 points (not Griston) and Munich A with 15 points. Stuttgart B broke first in EFL.

    Cheers from the German teams.

    Oxford B includes Tom Hosking who is Australian. Go Tom!

    I think in the ESL break, there should be Leiden A (on 5th position instead of Rijeka). The ?? Turkish?? team is Galatasaray A.
    Also Chulalongkorn A and Munich A should be in the break, but I can't remember their positions.

    Thanks for getting the team break out so efficiently :) Is there any chance of getting the judges break perhaps?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Cc11:53 am

    I'll ask for it. I hear a rumour that they broke 100 judges so it will be a long list if that's the case.

    I'll post it asap.
    Yes, 100 judges broke.
