WUPID: Team Sponsorship (Airfare) For The Top 30 Invited Institutions.
From http://thedebatingnews.wordpress.com/
All of us wants to go to WUPID – that’s what I was told. But when you actually come from an institution that is entitled to a zero registration fee policy, your determination is kind of slowed down a bit as the challenge of acquiring sponsorship for your airfare seems rather distant.
After organizing WUPID for four times, I have genuinely realized that the actual predicament for institution to send teams to the championship all lies in the cost of airfare, especially for teams outside the Asia Pacific. The solution is simple. Turning WUPID into an event very much like the Formula 1. And as students simply don’t have the time and perhaps the knowledge to look for their own team sponsor, we’re here to help you out. However, we need you to help us to help you. Therefore, we would simply need three documents:
The profile of the debating union / club / society;
The profile of the debaters that will be representing the respected institution; and
A formal letter requesting for funding.
Do not however imagine that this is some kind of charity. Under normal circumstances, sponsored teams would have to bear the title of the corporate sponsor i.e. CIMB Monash throughout WUPID 2011, furnish themselves with merchandises bearing the title and/or logo of the company and behave in a manner that does not disgrace and bring harm to the company’s name or brand.
For this initiative to work however, our sponsorship seekers would definitely need time. There is a lot of effort involved and absolutely far from the notion of falling asleep in the bath tub and waking up somewhere else. We intend to work closely with the organizers of DLSU Manila Worlds as well as the organizers of the Singapore Debate Open 2011. So please send us the information before May 2011 at wupidmania@gmail.com or yunus@hngsc.com.
I don’t know. I cannot promises or guarantee that we would be able to secure the needed funding for the airfare. But I do know this. It gets easier every year.

3rd Malaysia Debate Open report
The 3rd Malaysia Debate Open, held at Multimedia University, Melaka last weekend has been really amazing. Within a short time frame of three days, we had 96 teams from 11 countries debated in 7 prelims and 4 break rounds. The tournament had been exceptional well run with only an hour delay on each day despite having to accommodate a sudden increase of 20 teams that came on day 1, and an additional preliminary round.
I would like extend my utmost gratitude and thanks to the three deputy chief adjudicator (Skanda Prasad, Tasneem Elias and Ahyoung Kim), conveners (Sarah Quin and Sha-maine), tournament directors (Ila and Kumar), the tab team (headed by Latif), organizing and working committee for making all this possible. These individuals had sacrificed partying/sleep/classes to make this event a success. Also equally important, I was like to personally thank all the participants, both debaters and adjudicator for coming and made the past few days a really memorable experience.
The tournament this year saw a significant number of composite teams and incredibly strong pool of debaters/adjudicators. Hence, a big congratulations to team Powerpuff Girls (Shiveena, Gica and Ces) for winning the championship and to Logan from Dog Curry (Tate, Nam Chul, Logan) for grabbing both the best grand final and best overall speaker award.

Results of SEO 2011
Here is an e-mail from the debateasia mailing list. It details the result of the recent SEO debating tournament. It also seems to have been an initial dry run for many of the systems that will be used at next year's Worlds which is interesting to note this far out.
After 7 days of competition, we are proud to announce the outcome of the recently concluded 2011 Southeast Asian English Olympics. Among the universities and high schools which participated in all the events, Bina Nusantara University (BiNus University) emerged as the institutional champion with 47 olympic points. They are followed by Institut Teknologi Bandung-Indonesia and University Teknologi Petronas –Malaysia with 25 points. You can go to www.seo.mybnec.org for the complete list of winners.
We also would like to congratulate the winner of the Debate Olympics:
MAIN BREAK
Champions: Institute of Technology Bandung A - ITB A (Luthfi and Karina)
1st Runner-Up: Institute of Technology Bandung B - ITB B (Rifan and Andhika)
2nd Runner-Up: BiNus University - BNU A (Sabar and Raden)
Grand Finalist: University of Indonesia A - UI A (Ahdiat and Roderick)
Champion and runners-up were each respectively awarded Olympics medals (gold, silver, bronze), cash prize of 300 USD-200USD-100USD denominated in Rupiahs and some other sponsor packages. The finals was held at @America, the hi-tech US’ cultural center at Pacific Place Mall, Jakarta.
NOVICE BREAK
Champions: STBA Teknokrat Lampung B - Teknokrat B (Sheilla and Nurul)
Finalist: Bina Bangsa School A - BBS A (Claudia and Tara), University of Jenderal Soedirman C - UnSoed C (Riezki and Zaenul), SMAN 3 Bandung A (Lidya and Hurriyah)
The top ten speakers are:
1.(Tied) Roderick - UI A, Luthfi - ITB A, Ahdiat - UI A
4. Andika - ITB B
5. Rifan - ITB B
6. (Tied) Phodiso - UCTI A, Karina - ITB A
8. Mark - UCTI A
9. (Tied) Alisa and Arpaporn - Thailand National Debate Team A, Dimas - UI B
Best novice speaker:
Fildza Nabila Avianti - UGM A
The main break finals was judged by:
Chair: Jayson Gaspar Maulit (Phillipines),
Panelists: TJ (Thailand), Azrul Izzam (Malaysia), Buena Bernal (Phillipines), Rose Lyn (Phillipines),Ely Zosa (Phillipines), Muhammad Akbar Walenna (Indonesia), Melda Mahardita Sari (Indonesia), Huda Fitri Amalia (Indonesia)
As a quick summary, the 2011 SEO employed round zero in order to make sure of the quality of judges as well as to give the participants time to practice. We also had 5 preliminary rounds, quarter final main break and novice final break. The tournament was composed of 4 countries in the ASEAN region given the adjudicators and debaters participation: Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia, and of course with one fascinating additional: England.
We are also delighted to announce that the 2011 SEO has become a very valuable learning platform for the participants in preparing for the upcoming De La Salle Worlds 2012 at Phillipines due to the quality of motions, worlds-standard speaker scoring scale, adjudication test and feedback system.
Furthermore, we are proud to say that the 2011 SEO employed an online system in wherein the scores were inputted online. This meant less papers, less runner involvement, and more efficient tabulation. Kudos to the innovation performed by Krisna and Rendy- our Binus tabulators.
The latter will join the Tabulation team in De La Salle Worlds 2012.
With regard to the adjudicator tabs, it is also important to note that the tab is not going to be released, customary to the execution of De La Salle worlds. The philosophical reason behind is we're under the assumption that adjudicators are not in competition.
Below are the summary of the motions for further practice purposes for everyone: (other details can be seen at http://seo.mybnec.org/debate except for Round Zero - it cannot be displayed as the results are not carried forward to the next round and except for novice finals)
ROUND ZERO: This house believes that countries with problems of overpopulation should pay willing citizens to sterilise themselves
ONE: This house would directly elect captains of national sport teams
TWO: This house believes that state funded health services should be provided by competitively tendered contracts by private companies, without direct state provision
THREE: This house believes that it is legitimate for governments to deliberately lie to their citizens in times of war
FOUR: This house believes that individuals in developed countries have a bigger moral responsibility to poor people in the developing world than their own families
FIVE: This house believes that democratic countries should punish communication companies which cooperate with oppressive governments’ censorship policies
QUARTERS: This house would ban advertisements that use gender stereotypes
SEMIS: This house believes that post-genocide states should punish the perpetrators of the genocide both visibly and publicly for the long term
NOVICE FINAL: This house believes that developing countries should ban family members of the Head of State/Government from running for the same position
GRAND FINAL: This house would ban the celebration of martyrs

After 7 days of competition, we are proud to announce the outcome of the recently concluded 2011 Southeast Asian English Olympics. Among the universities and high schools which participated in all the events, Bina Nusantara University (BiNus University) emerged as the institutional champion with 47 olympic points. They are followed by Institut Teknologi Bandung-Indonesia and University Teknologi Petronas –Malaysia with 25 points. You can go to www.seo.mybnec.org for the complete list of winners.

Panelists: TJ (Thailand), Azrul Izzam (Malaysia), Buena Bernal (Phillipines), Rose Lyn (Phillipines),Ely Zosa (Phillipines), Muhammad Akbar Walenna (Indonesia), Melda Mahardita Sari (Indonesia), Huda Fitri Amalia (Indonesia)
As a quick summary, the 2011 SEO employed round zero in order to make sure of the quality of judges as well as to give the participants time to practice. We also had 5 preliminary rounds, quarter final main break and novice final break. The tournament was composed of 4 countries in the ASEAN region given the adjudicators and debaters participation: Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia, and of course with one fascinating additional: England.
We are also delighted to announce that the 2011 SEO has become a very valuable learning platform for the participants in preparing for the upcoming De La Salle Worlds 2012 at Phillipines due to the quality of motions, worlds-standard speaker scoring scale, adjudication test and feedback system.
Furthermore, we are proud to say that the 2011 SEO employed an online system in wherein the scores were inputted online. This meant less papers, less runner involvement, and more efficient tabulation. Kudos to the innovation performed by Krisna and Rendy- our Binus tabulators.
The latter will join the Tabulation team in De La Salle Worlds 2012.
With regard to the adjudicator tabs, it is also important to note that the tab is not going to be released, customary to the execution of De La Salle worlds. The philosophical reason behind is we're under the assumption that adjudicators are not in competition.
Below are the summary of the motions for further practice purposes for everyone: (other details can be seen at http://seo.mybnec.org/debate except for Round Zero - it cannot be displayed as the results are not carried forward to the next round and except for novice finals)
ROUND ZERO: This house believes that countries with problems of overpopulation should pay willing citizens to sterilise themselves
ONE: This house would directly elect captains of national sport teams
TWO: This house believes that state funded health services should be provided by competitively tendered contracts by private companies, without direct state provision
THREE: This house believes that it is legitimate for governments to deliberately lie to their citizens in times of war
FOUR: This house believes that individuals in developed countries have a bigger moral responsibility to poor people in the developing world than their own families
FIVE: This house believes that democratic countries should punish communication companies which cooperate with oppressive governments’ censorship policies
QUARTERS: This house would ban advertisements that use gender stereotypes
SEMIS: This house believes that post-genocide states should punish the perpetrators of the genocide both visibly and publicly for the long term
NOVICE FINAL: This house believes that developing countries should ban family members of the Head of State/Government from running for the same position
GRAND FINAL: This house would ban the celebration of martyrs
Throughout this post we would like to thank EVERYONE involved in the event- OrgComm, participants, Liaison Officers, Hospitality Officers and other officers, Adjudication Core, Subsidized Judges, Country Ambassadors- sorry if I'm missing anyone- needless to say, every little detail of your contribution means EVERYTHING for us. :) And of course, we would like to humbly apologize for every single inconveniences we've might performed during the events.

The newly formed Malaysian debate social enterprise, the Malaysian Institute of Debate & Public Speaking, headed by Iqbal Hafiedz and Adiba Shireen, held its first Conference for over 50 language lecturers and student affair officials from Malaysian tertiary institutions from both West and East Malaysia. It was held at the campus of the University of Technology MARA from 13th to 15th Jan 2011.
Entitled, "Managing In-Campus Student Communication Programmes", the 3-Day workshop aimed to give managerial and supervisory staff from the academic and administrative divisions of tertiary institutions the wherewithals of establishing public speaking and debating clubs, sustaining them and helping them to excel. The invited trainers delivered lectures on topics which ranged from how to start from ground zero in raising student awareness to the importance of communication skills, to specific details in planning a budget, a training programme, as well as student facilitation skills in dealing with the diverse range of student personalities within the club milieu.
The last day of the event allowed the participants to put together specific plans and targets for their respective tertiary institutions. This was done in groups where each member shared his/her problems and aspirations for implementing communication programmes within the campus. All the groups also made group presentations to the entire class and all the trainers.
The entire Conference ended with a well deserved formal dinner for the participants, trainers and organisers.
The trainers in this Conference were: Professor Piyanart from Chulalongkorn University, Latif from IIUM, Tate from MMU, Azrul from IIUM. Saiful from UPM, Omar Salahudin, Dr Chandran from UM and Loke Wing Fatt from SAID.
Many thanks to Hafiedz, Adiba, Shamma, Shaq, Stifler, and all the other staff of the MIDP for hosting such a ground making debate education programme.
I look forward to seeing many interesting and important courses from MIDP.
cheers,
Loke Wing Fatt

OIC Intervarsity Debating Championship
Hi Everyone,
I am pleased to update you all on the OIC Intervarsity Debating Championship.
1) Dates: 14th 19th December 2010.
2) Eligibility: All OIC Member Counties. Maximum three universities with one team each.
3) Country Registration Deadline: 1st September 2010.
4) Team Registration Deadline: 1st November 2010.
5) Registration Fees: There is no registration fee for the tournament. Participants will bear their own expenses for their trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The IIUM (International Islamic University Malaysia) will provide accommodation for the participants free of charge.
6) How do we select which are the three universities from a country?: Ministry of Foreign Affairs will choose the institutions. Any interested university is requested to liaise with their Foreign Ministry to secure a spot. A selection tournament is advisable for countries where more than three institutions are interested to participate. This will have to be done at the country level. The IIUM is more than willing to advise on how this may be done. The IIUM will not provide any financial support for this.
