Invitation for ICU-Tournament 2012‏

30th October 2011
Dear Debating Community,

Announcing the memorable 21st ICU-Tournament

ICU Tournament is the one and only international tournament held annually
in Japan, which has continuously gathered debaters from various regions of
Asia. We expect to see over 150 participants from varying nations,
competing in high quality debates throughout the tournament. Not only will
debaters be able to enjoy debate itself, but will also get a chance to
explore Tokyo, one of the most attractive cities in the world.

We are very proud to announce that this year, our Adjudication Core will be
composed of Asia's top debaters and adjudicators. With Toshiaki Ikehara
heading, we have Ahyoung Kim, Suthen Thomas (Tate), and Keita Takayanagi.
All adjudicators have extensive experiences in creating excellent
tournaments of very high quality and we promise you that this one will be
too.
The debates will be held in Asian format. There will be 7 preliminary
rounds, and the top 8 teams will proceed into the breaking rounds. Please
