After a 2023 season that was one of the most even and exciting in many years, 2024 promises to be even better. 2023’s Year 11 had huge amounts of representation in 1st Grade and rep teams, so the amount of strength across schools that will be coming into Year 12 this year makes it one of the...

Updated GPS tables: 1sts 1st : Shore (4 wins) 2nd= : SBHS, Joeys (3 wins) 4th= : Grammar, Scots (2 wins) 6th= : Riverview, Newington (1 win) 8th : Kings (0 wins) With only 3 debates to go Shore have Scots, SBHS and Newington SBHS have Riverview, Shore and Grammar Joeys have Kings, Scots and...

Co-premierships used to be very common place. From 1985-91 the majority of the premierships were joint in 1sts. 2nds still sees joint premierships relatively often (Grammar and Joeys shared last year). However, we haven’t seen one in 1sts since 2008 despite many years where a joint premiership...

High def Kings Scots def Newington

Returning to the actual debating, this Friday promises to give us a spectacular set of quarter finals. The majority of the schools still in the competition could make a claim to be genuine title contenders imo, making the results very hard to pick, but hopefully producing some fantastic debates...

It would be Scots v Grammar in the semi. In that case, Scots has a state team speaker, while none of Grammars 1s were in the state squad.

We also have 4 Senior B debates this Friday. Kambala v Redlands The undefeated Kambala team with +23 margins are heavy favourites over the 4 win redlands team with +3. Kambala Wenona v Barker Barker topping their pool are again strong favourites. I have also heard good things about this...

I think Aloys and Scots are both stronger than Grammar this year. Scots less so than Aloys though, so greater chance of Grammar being able to take them in a Semi Final.

We’ve got 3 Octos this Friday, each with a relatively clear favourite in my mind. St Aloysius v PLC Sydney I know relatively little about PLC, but as I said earlier, I think Aloys are the strongest team in the competition, and based on PLC’s 3 win in rounds, Aloys should progress without much...

With the finals draw now released, I’m tipping an Aloys v Scots final, with Aloys to take the chocolates. From what I’ve observed and heard, this year group is significantly weaker than last year, however these two teams appear to be the strongest analytically. I think Aloys superior strength...

GPS is shaping up to be quite interesting this year. There's no real standout favourites like we've had in other years, however some traditionally weaker schools look to be strong. This could lead to a very competitive GPS where anyone of 6 schools could potentially be in with a shot...

I would disagree that Scots don't have any good speakers. In particular, they have an exceptional responsive speaker who got a NSW callback. GPS looks to be wide open this year, with the favourites highly unclear, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Scots contending for the shield come the...

Anyone have results from the 4 Octos that happened tonight? Kambala v St Andrews Brigidine v Knox Grammar v Ravenswood St Joseph’s v Loretto Kirribili

We’re now just over the half way mark of the ISDA group stage, and despite the results spreadsheet not being quite complete, we can start to put together a picture of what the various groups look like. Here are the tables, * represents a debate with the result missing. Pool A Pymble - 3...

I've heard similar things re adjs. It seems it's a real struggle to get adjs this year, and there seems to have been some strange allocations of stronger adjs to weaker year groups as well. There's no results up on the website yet. We can't tell a lot from one round anyway, but hopefully we'll...

GPS Debating kicks off tonight. Any thoughts / predictions? Newington v SBHS Kings v Grammar Scots v Riverview Joeys v Shore

ISDA Semi Finals happened last Friday night: Grammar def. Barker St Aloysius def. Cranbrook Giving us Grammar v St Aloysius in the final. Grammar already beat Aloys in the pool stage, and seem to have been the predicted winners on this forum from the very beginning, so probably going in as...
