Motions have been released! tinyurl.com/YNPA2016tab

In addition, Timothy Lee and Goh Han Yang have communicated that they are, in fact, not Am speakers. This does not affect the break, as they broke in Opens, but this disqualifies them from Am Best Speaker rankings. We thank them for their honesty. We also congratulate Seah Pei Song as the Am Best Speaker, and Rhea Jain, Charis Sim and Issac Ko for breaking into the Top 5 Am Best Speakers!
