16th ICU-Tournament

Hello, I am Tsuyoshi Sato, a member of International Christian University
Debating Society in Japan and Tournament Director of 16th ICU-
Parliamentary Debate Tournament (ICU-T). This is the letter to inform you
about 16th ICU-T.

This year, we are going to hold the 16th ICU-T on March 10th and 11th. The ICU-T is regarded as one of the most prestigious and is the biggest tournament in Japan. It is the only tournament in Japan that invites debaters from overseas.

In previous tournament, more than 50 teams participated, including 3 foreign teams. Many Japanese want to debate and talk with you fellow Asian debaters. We hope ICU-T will be the first step to become familiar with Japanese culture
and to create friendships with Japanese debaters.

General information about the 16th ICU-T is as follows.
