How can 3rd ranked speaker on the ESL tab be the best EFL speaker. If the 3rd ranked speaker on Main tab won ESL he would be disqualified from ESL. This is a disgrace!
I believe the classification is now based on an assessment by an ESL/EFL committee who interview each debater. If an EFL speaker is good enough he/she could win all three awards.
Sorry Colm but the issue is not that an EFL speaker did well. It is that Filip is not EFL and everyone knows it. But Ljubljana wanted a trophy going home.
If this is Philip who was at EUDC this year, he is a very talented speaker!
ReplyDeleteFilip Dobranic of Uni of Ljubljana
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have corrected his name.
