In an email sent earlier today, the 2011 BIND Organising Committee officially opened its search for 3 independent adjudicators throughout the region, to fortify its Adjudication Core.
The 2011 BIND has attracted more than 50 institutions from Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. Registration closed yesterday, 27 May 2011 at 2359hrs (GMT+7). A tournament cap of 80 teams was set, but that was reportedly exceeded, and over 100 teams have signed up for the tournament scheduled for 13th to 16th September 2011.
Deadline for the submission of CVs for independent adjudicators is 15th June 2011. Interested parties should submit their CVs to bipeds.indonesia@ gmail.com

Dear Fellow Debate Enthusiasts,
Hope this message finds you well. On behalf of the Organising Committee of the 2011 BIND, I wish to inform you that we have opened slots for individuals from the region who will serve as independent adjudicators.
Very briefly, BIND is a 3-year old tournament which uses British Parliamentary as its format. It is run by the BINUS INTERNATIONAL Pool of English Debaters (BIPEDS).
BIND adheres to international best practices, and starting 2010, we began fortifying our Adj Core by inviting well-respected adjudicators from the region and from the international circuit to serve as our DCAs. (Please visit our Testimonials page to hear what Will Jones, Can Okar, Sam Natale & Julia Bowes have to say about BIND 2010)
This year, we have the privilege of having 2 members of the Manila Worlds Adj Core as our DCAs (Lucinda David and Tim Mooney). TJ (Assumption University - ABP CA, Assumption Worlds Convener. Botswana Worlds breaking adj) will also serve as a DCA.
Our CA this year is Raj Sangtani (BIPEDS - Quarterfinalist of Asian BP 2009, 2nd EFL Best Speaker of ABP 2009, WUPID 2010 Grandfinal Adjudicator).
To date, over 50 institutions from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Indonesia have signed up for the 2011 BIND, and all slots in the main list have been taken up.
Given the regional scale of the tournament, the Organising Committee decided it best to strengthen our adj pool through the presence of independent adjudicators. We have allocated 3 slots for such persons.
Each of the successful candidates will be a person known for his/her probity & sense of fairness, with a proven performance record at a BP tournament of a(n) national, regional or international scale as a debater and/or adjudicator. Breaking experience at a BP tournament on a regional or international scale will be an advantage. S/he will be flown in to Jakarta at the Organising Committee's expense and will have free accommodations on all days of the tournament (13 to 16th September 2011)
Interested candidates can submit their CVs to bipeds.indonesia@ gmail.com on or before 15th June 2011.
You can also send queries to the email address above.
Lastly, kindly feel free to circulate/re-post this message to the various debate fora which you are members of, to spread the word and widen our search for independent adjudicators for this year's BIND.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
