Thank you to those who participated in Senior SDC 2024, hosted over the past weekend! Following the weekend’s debates, the final results of the competition can now be announced.
The Grand Champions of this year’s SDC is HKIS 1, debating against DGS 1 in a spectacular Grand Final round. We congratulate both them and the runner-up heartily.
The grand finals motion was: This House Opposes the expectation that romantic partners should be the primary source of support for each other’s mental health.
Next, the Top 10 Speakers (with a tie at 1st, 3rd and 10th place) are as follows:
1=. Jonathan Ho, DBS 1
1=. Or Cheuk Lam Cynthia, SPCC 1
3=. Andrea Chow, RCHK 1
3=. Mollie Mei, HKIS 1
*5. Clara Lau, ICS 1
6. David Hong, HKIS 1
7. Evan Chow, DBS 1
8. Anson Cheng, DGS 1
*9. Tingting Zhang, CIS 1
10=. Hanyi Zhou, CIS 2
10=. Max Lee, DBS 2
10=. Pak Yin Wong, SPC 1
* As an addendum, only speakers with 3 or more speeches have traditionally been considered for speaker awards and this will resume in future competitions. For this instance however, trophies will still remain with awardees that have 2 speeches.
All tabs and the break have now been released publicly. They can be viewed at https://seniorsdc2024.calicotab.com/seniorsdc2024/
