==============================================

The Hong Kong British Parliamentary Debating Championships (HKBPDC) is an annual tournament for all secondary school students in Hong Kong. The outreach programme is primarily organised by the University of Hong Kong (HKU) English Debate Team, featuring a workshop conducted by award-winning HKU debaters, followed by a 3-day tournament held on HKU campus.

The British Parliamentary (BP) format, used at HKBPDC, is also used at the world's largest debating tournament, World Universities Debating Championships (WUDC, or Worlds), as well as various other regional and local tournaments. Each debate consists of four teams of two members, with two on Government (supporting the motion), and two on Opposition (opposing the motion). Teams not only compete against their opponents opposite, but must also outperform the other team on the same side. All debates are impromptu, with motions and sides made known to teams 15 minutes before the debate begins.
