GPS teams came out on Friday. Not too sure of the schools all of them are from so if people could fill them in that would be great! (not too sure if these are the speaking orders) GPS Firsts: Joshua Lin (Shore) Bennett Roebuck-Krautz (Grammar) Leo Ye (High) Peter Taurian - 4th (Grammar) GPS...

Despite High's loss, I have heard otherwise about their (supposedly strong) performance with claims that they probably should have won and were extremely unlucky with the adj. This loss still confirms the team not living up to previous years, although they still have a chance at being premiers...

This has been an extremely quiet thread this year - no doubt that the standard of debating at almost all major powerhouses has dropped from previous years with SGHS, SBHS and SGS all with significantly weaker teams. "boseoisagod" - I would certainly be much more careful about saying such...

This thread has been largely inactive all this time, but there are still plenty of exciting debates in the upcoming weeks. Reps (GPS, CHS, ART, CAS) start this Wednesday. I'm not too sure about the draws, location, times or team members, so any information would be greatly appreciated! This...

http://www.gpsdebating.org/node/78 This page will normally have results for all teams updated by around Wednesday each week. Last week High, Grammar, Scots and Riverview all won, although I'm not aware of the topics or how well those teams actually did. Any further information would be much...

Greetings all, The GPS Debating season is upon already, with the first round debates this Friday. The topic area is sport, so expect some interesting topics. Interestingly, some rules have been changed with the following being the most significant: Change to Adjudication 2018 Panel...

A huge congratulations to the NSW team of Daniel, Indigo, Sophie and Alex for winning the National Schools Debating Competition in a 6-1 split against SA. Daniel is once again in the Aus Schools team (I believe as captain). In other news, Octos have been completed in ISDA. Here are my...

It's now the end of Term 1, with various competitions now in their middle stages. Would we be able to get an update on the progress of ISDA and Eastside? Which schools are in the lead or tipped as favourites to win? Or the relevance of these competitions to GPS title contenders? I've heard that...

So that means that the winners are generally the regions with the most/best selective schools ie Sydney and North Sydney? I'd imagine that any speakers from schools in these areas would probably being looking at CHS or state squad reps next year (especially those from SBHS/SGHS).

So now the only reps season is the JSDC (Junior State Debating Championships). To my understanding it is only for public schools in yr 9 and 10. How does this whole competition work? Who are in the teams? etc. I figured this comp might be a good indicator of the strength of CHS debating in...

More stats incoming: Using a system of assigning points per win from Firsts to 7C - where Firsts get 12 points per win, Seconds get 11, Thirds get 10, 10A gets 9, all the way down to 7C getting 1 point per win - a different result is shown: As at the end of Round 2 of GPS: 1) High - 114...

Last Friday night, from 7Cs to Firsts: Newington - 5 wins High - 7 wins Shore - 3 wins Grammar - 9 wins Riverview - 6 wins Joeys - 3 wins Kings - 6 wins Scots - 9 wins After 2 weeks: 1) Grammar - 19 wins 2) Scots - 17 wins 3) High - 16 wins 4) Kings - 13 wins 5) Riverview - 10 wins 6)...

Haha - the High vs Grammar debate is always one to look forward to! I noticed that Archdale has a school ranking system based on how well each team from their school is faring. That is, all teams from 7B to Seniors all have wins counting towards an overall total that determines the schools'...

And the competition only gets more interesting.... The only thing that's clear now is that High are now leading.

Wow. Definitely a very simple topic - one that perhaps Sydney Boys might know a bit about! Anyone know the result of the Riverview vs Kings debate?
