Chile Defeats New Zealand for Mini-WSDC Title in Qatar


The team from Chile put on an amazing performance in Doha, Qatar last night as they took a 9-0 decision from New Zealand. New Zealand was proposition and Chile was opposition on the motion, THBT a country should not punish those who pay bribes to officials of other countries.

The supposed charges against British defense contractors as regards Saudi Arabia as well as oil companies dealing with the government of Guinea were discussed in detail.

Chile dominated every phase of the debate and was obviously a crowd favorite, although the team from New Zealand took the top two speakers in the tournament and put on a truly excellent performance. But, on this night there was no stopping Chile.

The Chile team is coached by Alvaro Ferrer and Catalina Bascur and is sponsored by Universidad Andres Bello Chile.

Video of the debate will be available soon, along with comprehensive results.

The tournament and the Qatar Debate Academy that took place before it was sponsored by QatarDebate with curricular assistance from the World Debate Institute at the University of Vermont and ZIP Slovenia national debate program.
