RESULTS AND MOTIONS
NEAO 2012 at Kyung Hee University
* List of Breaking Judges has been added. Apologies in the delay.
Dear Northeast Asian Debate Community,
NEAO 2012 is over.
NEAO 2012 at Kyung Hee University, organized by Kyunghee Debate Society (KDS), brought together more than 300 debaters and adjudicators to the Northeast Asian debate scene.
NEAO 2012 observed a number of developments in the debate scene. There has been much discussion in the Council regarding what NEAO should be as a tournament and its rules. NEAO 2012 fulfilled its role of bringing various national debating and judging styles into a regional place, where style, standard, and understanding of debate and adjudication were fused into one debate scene called Northeast Asia.
This tournament was a product of efforts by a number of individuals, Convener Doori Hong, Finance Director Won-il Jang the big guy, Deputy Chief Adjudicators Abel, Yuki, and Wendy, Tab Directors Logan and Mohan, Deputy Tab Choong Geun Lee, and the staff. We wish to recognize especially Tournament Director and Master of Ceremony Dave Il-Hwan Hwang, whose idea it was to invite GayaGeum Quartet to the Banquet.
It was a true honor for us to serve as Co-Chief Adjudicators. We hope you had as much fun as we did. We look forward to progress and development of debate in next year’s NEAO, also taking place in Korea.
Sincerely Yours,
JyaHyun Albert Lee
