Greenhill wins the Inaugural WSD Division at the Tournament of Champions
This past weekend we saw a historical event: the first World Schools Division at the Tournament of Champions. 33 teams from all over the country competed and threw down to take the number one spot and one of the most competitive (and anticipated) tournaments of the season.
Final Results
The final round was between Greenhill on the proposition and Harvard Westlake on the opposition. They debated the motion: THW ban users from selling their data to companies in exchange for financial returns (i.e. receiving fixed monthly rates, dividends, etc., for the use of their data by companies). On a 4-1 decision, Greenhill secured the championship title! Congratulations to Sophia Li, Emily Hu, Sherry Zhang, and Kaden Alibhai!
