Controversy
Institutions who were unhappy about aspects of the organisation of the All-Asian Intervarsity Debating Championships established the Asian Universities Debating Championship in 2005 as an alternative to the All-Asians Championship.[2] Since then, many universities in Asia with strong debating traditions – most notably universities from the Philippines and Singapore, including all except one of the institutions who won the All-Asian championships up to 2004 – have chosen not to participate in the All-Asian Intervarsity Championships and have instead entered teams in the Asian Universities Debating Championship.
While not necessarily intended to be a rival tournament, the last three AUDCs coincided with the schedule of the All-Asian Championship, which made it impracticable for teams to attend both tournaments.
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, which was one of the founding institutions of AUDC and entered teams in the AUDC in 2005 and 2006, chose to attend the All-Asians Championship in 2007. Among the universities that won the All-Asians prior to the split, they are the only institution to have participated in the All-Asians since the inception of the AUDC. They attended AUDC again in 2008.
== NSU All Asians, Dhaka Bangladesh, the BEST ever ==
On the 15th edition of All Asians, the tournament entered South Asia for the first time ever. North South University in their very first time turned out to put the best show ever. The Tab ran mostly on time under the close supervision of the famous American Tab legend, Dr. Alfred Tuna Snider. The Adjudication Core ensured the best possible judging for the participants of the tournament. The adjudication core was lead by Sarajit Baral. Sidhart Chauhan (NLS India), Jason Jarvis (KDI, South Korea) and Adiba Shareen (UT Mara, Malaysia) assisted him as DCAs of the tournament. The fierce debaters of National Law School India proved to be the bests of Asia. At the end of the tournament NLS Bangalore 1 (Yaman Verma, Aditya Verma, Uttara Gharpure)rose up to be the Champion defeating NLS Bangalore 3 (Vipul Nanda, Ameya Kilara, Aditya Bandopadhyaya).
NSU All Asians had one of the largest and most efficient Organizing Committee seen anywhere in any debating event. Lead by Zunaed Rabbani,the Convener of the tournament, the army of organizers ensured the smooth flowing of the tournament. The most attractive part of the tournament was its mindblowing socials. With socials every night, the participants had no time to get bored. And if that wasnt enough, there were late night disco parties, EVERY night!!!
Strict and transparent adjudication standards and most fabulous organization ensured by North South University surely makes the NSU All Asians the best Asians EVER!!!!!
