Formosa BP Open

That’s a wrap! FBPO 2025 has officially come to an end 🏁

Huge thank you to everyone who trusted us and stuck with us throughout the journey. We couldn’t have done it without you.

BP in Taiwan has been rebuilding ever since the pandemic, so seeing not only an increase in total participants, but also greater institutional diversity this year is incredibly encouraging 💪

As the orgcomm, one of the most meaningful moments for us was hearing from first-time competitors who said they wanted to do more. One time someone even told us they thought orgcomm was doing nothing because Jeff was just chilling in the back during rounds… which we are choosing to take as the highest compliment 😌

Here’s to a more connected community and even more thriving competitions ahead 🥂✨

P.S. All photos and rounds recordings can now be found on the Everything Link. 😎

FBPO 2024: That's a Wrap! 🌪️✈️

We made it through typhoon, flight CHAOS, fire alarm, and rounds of intense debates and interesting motions.

Shoutout to our motion masters Nasa, Bea, Thanh, and Naomi for keeping our brains busy from hedonism. Big thanks to our IAs, Luigi, Raymond, Way De, and Joel as well for all the quality feedback. Our appreciation is beyond words. And sorry about the typhoon surprise package, Taiwan just wanted to make sure you got the full experience.

To all debaters: you brought your A-game and made FBPO 2024 memorable. Thanks for being part of this weekend!

Until next time!
