Dear Asian Debating Family,
At the outset, a big Thank You for the overwhelming interest and encouragement you have shown for the 4th Hong Kong Debate Open 2013 at HKUST. At last count, our Website had over 700 hits, our Facebook page over 280 'Like's and significant activity has been recorded on our Renren (the Chinese equivalent of Facebook) Page as well. Thanks for your support and we are absolutely thrilled to be hosting you this November!
In light of the huge excitement HKDO 2013 has generated, we have decided to launch our registration while #HKDO2013 is still trending. Our Registration Director Andy Herg has been working hard to ensure an earlier-than-planned Registration opening.
We are therefore very pleased to announce that we are pushing forward our Registration Opening from 16th July 2013 to 12:00 AM HKT 26th June 2013.
The Registration Form will be accessible at this link https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RiP8s6UBIKDmUbMsogAILu5a2uYrTPNxHd5VHTAZQX0/viewform from 26th June. Please register your teams, judges and observers from 12 am on 26th June 2013.
Please be reminded that Phase 1 Registration closing at 11:59 PM 31st July 2013 HKT remains unchanged.
My team and I look forward to receiving your registration applications,
Happy Debating,
Sathish Raghuraman
Convenor – 4th HKDO 2013 @HKUST
