Reminder

Dear debaters,

So far, we have quite a number of institutions already emailing us to register. We are still looking forward to the institutions that have not yet do so.

Be reminded also that the closing date for registration is 23rd of July, which is a long way to go, but we also have limited spots to fill.

And since we forgot to include in the previous post about the amount of payment, the payment per participant (regardless if you are adjudicator or debater) would be RM 80.

Should you like to stay in the accommodation provided, here are the charges :-

* A - Executive Hostel - RM40 (per night per person, with air condition, 1 to a room with an attached toilet)

* B - Normal Hostel - RM 15 (per night per person, it has NO air condition, 4 to a room)

Hence, the rego fees to be paid to secure your spots would be RM80 with an addition of payment for hostel; depending on how many days you are planning to stay there.

Hope to have more teams joining this tournament! :)

With regards,
Khadijah.
