Before the semi-final break announcement

Teams behaved the usual way after QF: Some of them in despair, others in hope, many just confused.

However, there still is a chance of an all Oxford final - to which participants couldn't really warm up to.

If the best four teams happen to come from one institution, what's the issue? It's not as if debate as an activity is itself biased towards Oxford success...

I'm not sure if Jens was saying it was neccasserily a terrible thing to happen, just perhaps not quite as exciting as a final with lots of different institutions (and indeed, countries)

Though it leads to a more interesting debate form the floor as to who to cheer for!

Suspect Will and James would probably get the room's support - but hey, I'm not there, I could be wrong.

It's all about have 3 teams from one institution and one other team who gets everyone else's support!
