We are proud to announce our second CA: Our very own Hasit Nanda!!

Hasit will soon be laying to rest an illustrious schools debating career consisting of winning Bluebonnet Worlds 2020, Dulwich Schools 2021, NDT Worlds 2021, UPenn Worlds 2021, and Durham Schools in both 2021 and 2022! He has also won a number of speaker awards including being a Top 10 Speaker at Imperial Schools 2020 and 2021, UCL Schools 2021, Gwalia Worlds 2020, ARGO Worlds 2021, as well as being the Top Speaker of KCL Schools in both 2020 and 2021.

He has also been successful in the University debating circuit, having broken at SIDO Open 2020, Imperial IV 2020, Beihang Open 2020 and Cape Town Open 2020.

Not only is Hasit an excellent debater, but he is also a passionate coach. He founded the Art of Debating organization (artofdebating.com) 3 years ago, through which he provides debate workshops to students from state schools and runs an annual online summer program for underprivileged students from around the world.

In the first edition of our competition, he played a crucial role and was an excellent equity officer.

We are happy to welcome him to our team!

We are delighted to announce our first CA: Brian Wong!!!

Brian is a dinosaur. They have broken at WUDC 2020 (Open Semifinalist), EUDC 2017 (Open Quarterfinalist), LSE Open 2019 (Open Semifinalist), amongst 53 open speaking breaks across four different continents.

Brian has also DCAed EUDC 2019 and NAUDC 2019. Other CAP experience include HWS RR, Oxford IV, LSE Open, SIDO, USUDC, and such. They have chaired Grand Finals at WUDC, Australs, and ABP, alongside breaking at 83 competitions in total.

They are also Eton's resident long-serving coach (fourth year now!).

We're very excited to have them on our team!

Hi all,
After careful consideration, we have decided to expand our team cap (again) to 72 teams! This also means that we will be adding another round: the quarterfinals! This means that 16 teams will now break open, and we can confirm that we are also doing a novice finals. Please check the updated schedule on Facebook and notify us immediately if you, as a debater, or judge, cannot make the added round.

Hi all, we have filled our team cap of 60 after just 3 days of announcing our plans of extending it! We will no longer be accepting responses to the original team reg form. Therefore, we have created a team waitlist form for teams who are yet to sign up, these teams can still compete if teams that have already signed up drop out. As a result, if there are any teams who have already signed up but cannot make it, please notify us immediately by messaging this page/event, or by emailing us at [email protected]!

We are proud to announce our third and final CA: Zarina Bell-Gam!!!

Zarina is best known as the kid who introduced the term 'rahhh' to the Schools Debating Circuit, something she was only able to achieve using the clout which (as she describes it) 'magically came from ranking well in an activity my parents still don't understand'. Nevertheless, as a schoolie, she was captain of Team England at WSDC 2019, as well as being top speaker at Oxford and KCL Schools.

Now on a gap year, she pops into the odd university competition now and then, winning the Manchster IV and SOAS Mini-Open this year, as well getting to the final of LSE Womens and Delft Open, ranking in the top 10 speakers at all of the above. She has also been a breaking speaker at WDO 2020 and the Imitation Cup Open. Most importantly, she has CAed DM Schools, SOAS Schools and LSE Schools!

We're excited to have her!

We are proud to announce our second CA: Senkai Hsia!

Senkai’s first foray into running a debate competition was as Equity Officer of the Eton Open 2018, but he has come a long way as a debater since then.

You may also have heard, or seen, that Senkai has a spreadsheet! Senkai has often had many spreadsheets, but his current spreadsheet on global competitions is not only a godsend to debaters (and debating officers) but is also very dear to his heart. The spreadsheet also reflects Senkai’s insane desire to judge at any competition that will have him, but once there, to judge very well. He has broken as a judge at several competitions - judging the Oxford Finals of the Doxbridge Open, judging the semi-finals of Bluebonnet World Schools and chairing the semi-finals of ICYD. He has also been invited to IA Australs, WSDC and EUDC this summer. In addition, he has a judging break at WUDC as a first year, so you really can’t complain about his judging credentials.

Senkai’s inordinate obsession with debating started as a schoolie where he has a modest record of success. Long mocked by his Westminster teammates for not breaking at anything, he proved his doubters wrong in his last year by championing Durham Schools, making the semi-finals of Cambridge Schools and apparently overcoming an ocean to reach the finals of Hart House High Schools in Canada. Throughout his schools debating career, he has racked up at least ten top 10 speaker awards. Furthermore, at university level he has also finalled at the Berkeley IV and won the illustrious Newcastle IV.

Now debating for Stanford, he is returning to fulfil his longstanding debt to the British Schools circuit, and we are happy to have him!

Hi all,

They chaired the ESL Grand Final of WUDC 2019; having previously judged the EFL Grand Final and chaired an Open Octo Final at WUDC 2018, and judged an Open Octo Final and Masters Final in WUDC 2017. They are a three-time Australs breaking judge, chairing the Open Grand Final and ranking as the #1 judge of Australasia in 2019, having previously judged the Open Grand Final and chaired the Open Quarter Final in 2017, and judged the ESL Grand Final and chaired the ESL Semi Final in 2016. They are also a three-time EUDC breaking judge, having judged the ESL Grand Final and chaired the ESL Semi Final in 2018, and judged the ESL Grand Final and Open Semi Final in 2019. They chaired the Open Grand Final of the North American Universities Debating Championships 2019, and have thrice judged the Grand Finals of Oxford IV (ESL in 2017 and 2018, Open in 2019), and chaired the Open Grand Finals of Northeast Asian Open 2017 and Asia BP 2018, where they were ranked the third best judge of Asia.

We're very excited to have them on our team!
