KOC registration

Fellow debaters,
Registration for the Istanbul 2006 tournament at Koc University is still continuing. You can register and pay online at

http://istanbul2006.ku.edu.tr/

Go to the "Tournament" section at the top of the page. "Registration" will be on a first come, first served basis until we reach our team cap (around 72 teams). The fee if you have registered before 15th June is € 75 Euros. (Early reg is only possible when paying, not filling the info form)

And normal registration will be charged as € 95 that means paying on the registraion day.

There is no institutional cap and composite teams are allowed. You can register your details and pay later through one of the routes outlined on the payment page. The electronic transfer is reliable and organised by Koc Bank, one of the most reputable banks in Turkey.

And to confirm our final judging and coaching panel:

Remember that these experts don't just judge. You will get the opportunity to go to seminars where they teach both intermediary and advanced debating techniques. Koc has always been about improving everyone who comes along.We imagine that's everything you need to know for now. If there is anything else, get in touch and we'll get back to you.
