UT Mara Pre-Asians Tournament

As received on the All-Asians Mailing List.
-------------------------------------------
Greetings to All Asian Debaters,

As UM has yet to announce their final dates for The 12th All Asian, we think it is best to make this announcement now;

UTMARA Malaysia plan to host Pre-Asians Debating Championship on 12th -14th May 2005 (assuming UM All Asian would only begin on May 15th). It’s a great warm up session right before the 12th All Asian and furthermore UTMARA is just 30 minutes away from UM.

We promise you competent adjudication, 4 rounds of competitive debates, plenty of edible food, bottled water, decent accommodation, free transportation and our very own halal social!

A perfect BP detoxification program after MMU Worlds!

A great warm up on All Asian 3 on 3 format!
