Simon Fraser University Sweep!


On June 22nd, 2019, Vancouver Debate Academy participated in Simon Fraser University’s annual Public Forum Tournament. Popular in the United States, Public Forum is a style of debate that emphasizes the use of evidence and favours quick-witted debaters. This style of debate is fixated around crossfire, a period of unstructured time where debaters are free to question one another and respond to arguments. Needless to say, VDA students were hard at work months before the tournament preparing their cases and responses to rebuttal. Their work paid off when our students took home both the Junior and Senior Champion Team titles! Additionally, our Junior teams dominated the top 5 team rankings and our Senior teams took home the top 3 slots!

  • Champion Junior Team: Chole Zhu & Alex Chen
  • 2nd Place Junior Team: Monica Xu & Rina Song
  • 4th Place Junior Team: Joseph Mai & Ryann Lari
  • 5th Place Junior Team: Angela Hu & Sharon Yang
  • 1st Place Junior Speaker: Alex Chen
  • 2nd Place Junior Speaker: Chole Zhu
  • 6th Place Junior Speaker: Ryann Lari
  • 7th Place Junior Speaker: Angela Hu
  • Champion Senior Team: Yuki Zhao & Brian Ji
  • 2nd Place Senior Team: Ned Ji & Emily Chen
  • 3rd Place Senior Team: Terry Su & Sunnie Li
  • 1st Place Senior Speaker: Sunnie Li
  • 2nd Place Senior Speaker: Yuki Zhao
  • 3rd Place Senior Speaker: Terry Su
  • 5th Place Senior Speaker: Brian Ji
  • 6th Place Senior Speaker: Ned Ji
  • 7th Place Senior Speaker: Grace Jia
  • 10th Place Senior Speaker: Sunny Hou

 All debaters performed incredibly and we are extremely proud to teach them all. They’ve gained valuable experience in a different style of debate and we can’t wait to see how they tackle upcoming challenges!
