TEAM CAP EXTENSION
Important Registration Information
On this page, you will find important information about the registration of both teams and independent judges. In the first section, you will find our final lists of registered teams. The first table contains the 360 teams that we have accepted to register for Worlds as part of our original team cap. The second table contains the remaining waiting list. We will now invite the first 40 teams on the remaining waiting list to register for the additional slots we have opened up. These slots cost 490 EUR per person as explained in our mails to global lists. In the second section, we have published our invited independent adjudicators and additional adjudication slots for institutions.
The 360 teams registered and the remaining waiting list order and policy
We have extended our team cap to 400 teams, which means we can accept a further 40 teams to debate at this year's tournament. Given our contractual arrangements with the hotel and the need to pay for further judges, we will need to increase the registration fee to 490 EUR per person for each institution we invite. We will initially only accept one team per institution still on the waiting list, without a judge - we have now filled our adjudication pool. If you are keen to judge, contact Can Okar at c.okar@kocworlds2010.com so that he can place you on his waiting list.
If you receive an invitation to join us as one of the extra 40 teams, we would ask that you respond to the mail saying either yes or no within one week of receving your invitation. If you say no, your place will be offered to the next team on the waiting list outside of the current next 40. If you say yes, you will be required to pay the balance of 980 EUR for your team in phase 3 of registration which runs from August 31st 2009 to September 25th 2009. If we cannot find 40 teams from the current waitlist of 53 institutions because teams decline, we will offer additional places to institutions from the waitlist (both those who are already in and those who will be in through this policy) who were previously limited to one team.
It is still eminently possible that teams who we have accepted in the first 360 teams do not pay their money in Phase 3 and are thus deleted from the tournament. If this occurs, we will refund the 100 EUR per person to teams in the order that they appear on the waitlist. For example, Moscow Aviation Institute are currently the 361st team. If one team from the 360 teams currently registered does not pay up, we will refund the extra money paid by Moscow Aviation Institute. This would happen after Phase 3 has ended and we can work out who has paid. Moscow Aviation Institute would then be considered in the 360 and their spot in the 361-400 places would be offered to the next highest team on the waiting list.
We would also like to announce that the waiting list will close for the last time on 30th August 2009. If you want to place a team on that list, please contact Hasan Sadik Arik at h.s.arik@kocworlds2010.com. You can also contact him with questions about this process.

Our Independent and Additional Adjudicators List
We have received a vast number of applications to adjudicate as independents at the Vehbi Koç World Universities Debating Championships 2010. We have also received requests from some institutions to send more than their allocated n-1 adjudication slots. After careful consideration by the regional Deputy Chief Adjudicators, in conjunction with our Chief Adjudicator, we have identified those adjudicators or adjudicator spots to be handed out across the globe, and have decided to publish this list in the interest of transparency. We have also disbursed over 23,000 EUR to support adjudicators financially and tried to spread this funding in an equitable and open manner to every region of the world. We wish that we could have accepted more applications but there are a finite number of rooms at the hotel and we simply don't need more than 350 judges. As spaces open up, we will try to accommodate more adjudicators who are on our waiting list.
A total of 124 independent and additional adjudicators have been invited to attend Worlds this year. We anticipate that 10% of these invites will be declined and have factored this into our decision. If more adjudicators than that should decline their invitations, we will invite further applications, and revisit those applications that we have been unable to accept at this time.
If you are an institution unable to meet their n-1 requirement, or have difficulties in affording flights for your adjudicators to Worlds, please do contact us as soon as possible. We are now eager to match you with people in this list (who have not received any of our funding) under a deal whereby you cover their registration fee, but not their flights. Please contact Can Okar with any such requests (c.okar@kocworlds2010.com).
We are now delighted to publish the following list of adjudicators and institutions with additional slots. We are sure you will agree that this is a stellar list of extraordinarily talented individuals and institutions that have supported Worlds in previous years. A well-adjudicated Worlds awaits.
