1) Honourable Mention for the Respondent's Memorial - 10 points
2) Siddhant Chamola of NLU-J got the 2nd runners up for the Best Speaker award which means he was the third best speaker in the whole moot. ( Above the honorable mention speakers) - Should be given least 10 points. ( equivalent to honorable mention.)
Total 20 points for NLU-J . Kindly Update.
What about them?
Also, NALSAR made round of 64 and got an hon men in vienna. Update that as well.
I hope this will suffice as far as the official confirmation for NLU-J's performance in Vis Hong Kong Moot is concerned.
