In March 2024, the 2023-24 top eight teams were announced. These teams won all-expenses-paid trips to New York City to compete during IPPF Finals Weekend, which began on Friday, May 3, 2024.

 

Finals Weekend kicked off on Friday evening with a Welcome Reception at the New York Athletic Club. During the reception, teams had an opportunity to meet the other Elite 8 teams, members of the IPPF Advisory Board, and former IPPF champions. 

 

On Saturday, teams supplemented their written advocacy with oral argumentation. Debates took place at The Harold Pratt House. (To meet the final panel judges, click here.)

​

The IPPF Finals aired LIVE from New York on the IPPF Facebook page, located here. The semifinals began at 10:10 a.m. EDT, and the final debate was broadcast at 3:30 p.m. EDT.

 

Following the debates, an Awards Ceremony was held at The Harold Pratt House, and Westwood High School of Austin, Texas, was named the 2024 IPPF World Champion! The team was awarded a $10,000 grand prize and the Brewer Cup!
