Congratulations to our ITOC Champions, Jonny Carson and Iqbal Kassam, from West Point Grey Academy! Jonny and Iqbal beat semi-finalists, Alex Bores and Jon Lee from Hunter College High School, in an oh-so-close 3-2 decision (yes, 3-2!) for the final round of the ITOC. The topic was, "The UN should invite more members into the nuclear family." Both teams debated well in this final round.
Congratulations to the following Quarterfinalist teams:
Frankie Cena and Carol Kwon (Burnaby Mountain Prep)
Steven Carr and Lucy Chiang/David Nguyen (Fairmont Prep Academy)
Jon Lee and Alex Bores (Hunter College High)
Josiah Miller and Kenneth Hall (Silverton High)
Kehl Van Winkle and Zach Johnston (Sprague High)
Jonny Carson and Iqbal Kassam (West Point Grey Academy)
Sean Husband and Helenaz Hajifattahi (West Point Grey Academy)
Rafael Baptista and Chris Axtman (Westview High)
IDEA would like to thank all of the schools who participated in this tournament and helped to make it a success. Between great debating, hot weather, a LOT of ice cream, and some serious, competitive soccer, it was a fun weekend. We hope to see you at Willamette University for the 2009 International Tournament of Champions!
