The final will feature a team each from TWGHs Kap Yan Directors' College and Diocesan Girls' School.

Kap Yan, last year's winner, wants to carry home the trophy again.

'We have a team of Form Six students who are on their study vacation. We did research and looked at both sides of the argument,' said Ian Sanderson, the team's coach.

'We developed a Kap Yan convincibility index to measure the convincibility of each of the arguments raised by debaters. The index works on a scale of one to 10 and arguments that score less than five will not be used.'
