Manila WUDC Announces Revised List, UGM Gets Entry

The organizers of the 2012 World Universities Debating Championships have promoted the first batch of waiting list teams to the safe zone after several schools reduced their contingents or pulled out from the competition that will take place in Manila around the Christmas-New Year's holiday season. One of the teams that got the bump up was Universitas Gadjah Mada while Universitas Bengkulu, which had a place in the raw list, decided to cancel its participation.

The Indonesian teams on the main list are as follows:

• Universitas Binus (3 teams) status OK
• Universitas Atma Jaya (2 teams) status OK
• Binus International (1 team) status OK
• Universitas Indonesia (1 team) status OK
• Institut Teknologi Bandung (1 team) status OK
• Universitas Padjadjaran (1 team) status OK
• Sekolah Tinggi Akuntansi Negara (1 team) status OK
• Universitas Hasanuddin (1 team) status waiting bank update
• Universitas Gadjah Mada (1 team) status promoted

There are still chances for Indonesian universities on the waiting list to get into the confirmed list if the teams that were just promoted cannot meet requirements before June 27, 2011.
