Greetings!

On behalf of the *Hong Kong Polytechnic University (HKPU) English Debate
Team*, I am very happy to announce the first-ever international BP
tournament to be held in Hong Kong this October 2010.

Below are the 5 Good Reasons for you to come join us:

1. *Good Dates: **23rd to 25th Oct 2010*
*
Late October in Hong Kong is pleasantly cool at 20 Celsius. You arrive on
22nd Oct, debate 3 rounds on 23rd, party with old and new-found friends,
debate 3 rounds on 24th Oct, more parties or shopping parties, and you end
up in Round 7, gunning for the Quarters, Semi and Grand Final on 25th Oct.
Then you leave, or party or go on to Macau for the *North East Asian Open* *
(NEAO) *, which starts from 29th Oct.

2. *Good Adjudication Core*
*
Our Chief Adjudicator is *Ms Sharmila Pramanand* of *Ateneo De Manila
University*, The Philippines (Grand Final Judge for Cork Worlds 2009 and Koc
Worlds 2010, DCA for 1st UADC 2010, DCA for Auckland Australs 2010 and Seoul
Australs 2011)

The DCAs are: *Mr Thepparith Senamngern *or* "TJ"* of* Assumption
University, *Thailand (Convenor of Bangkok Worlds 2008, CA for 1st Asian BP
2009, CA for 1st UADC 2010), *Mr Zhengbo* of *Peking University* ( Director
of Debate at Peking University, China, Grand Finalist Judge at the 1st Asian
BP 2009, Breaking Judge at Koc Worlds 2010) and *Mr* *Loke Wing
Fatt*(President of
*SAID*)

3. *Good Externalities*

a) Low Registration Fee for Debaters/Adjudicators/Observers at: *USD 25 per
person*

*b*) Cheap* *Hotel Accommodation 5 mins from *HKPU* and the famed *Victoria
Harbour*:

The official HK-DO 2010 Hotel is the Bridal Tea House Hotel. P
lease check it out at this website:
: http://www.hkchhotel.com/hotel-roomtypes.php

Each person, on a twin-sharing basis, will only have to pay HKD$180 or USD$22
per night.

You are free to arrange your own accommodation too.
*
c) Hong Kong is served by a number of safe, cheap budget airlines, is a
shopping haven, does not need most people to get a visa to be there, is a
hop to other getaway destinations, and, finally, is a safe, fun,
cosmopolitan World City.

4. *Good Start for the Hong Kong Debating Community*
*
This is Hong Kong's first attempt at hosting an international debating event
although it has, for the last decade, very strong debaters from its six
active debating universities making their mark at the Australs and Worlds.
Hong Kong high schools are also highly competitive at the Worlds Schools
Debating Championships. Your participation will support the beginning of a
new Asian debate hub which is waiting to be born.

For that modest reason, the Tournament Capacity is set at *60 teams*.

Institution cap for each university is set at *3 teams.*

**The *N minus 1 Rule* will be enforced and the usual *WUDC* rules will
apply at the *HK-DO 2010.*

5*. Good Hands at the Deck*

The *HK-DO 2010 Organising Committee* is led by the President of the *English
Debate Team* of *HKPU*, *Ms Jasmine Tam* who will be the Convener. Below is
