The final

THW abolish the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

Proposition: Singapore
Opposition: Scotland

Time 3 pm, Seoul time tomorrow (11 July)
Venue: 7th floor ballroom, Imperial Palace Hotel.

Judges: we select these on the basis of competence, performance during the competition and geographical representation where possible. My co-chief Adjudicator Mark Gabriel can't be on the panel because he's from Singapore and Singapore is in the final. There have been a number of very good judges in this competition and we couldn't select them all so here is the panel of 9 for tomorrow's final:

Claire Ryan (NZ)(chair of panel), Kris Ade (Canada), Taimur Bandey (Pakistan), Chris Erskine (Australia), Effie Giannakouri Greece), Jumin Lee (South Korea), Martin Pollard (Wales), James Probert (England), JJ Rodriguez (USA).

Afterwards, there will be prizes for winning team, runner up team, top 3 speakers, best ESL speaker, best EFL speaker, ESU Korea award for best speaker from new team.
