Dear friends, Registration for Australs is now CLOSED. We have reached the full team cap of 80 teams. If you have missed out, you will have to wait until a...
Hi everyone, Its great to see that there is so much interest in Australs this year, however its obviously a concern that it seems that many universities will...
G'day I don't know that it's fair to say that it is 'alarming' that the vast majority of universities are Australian. By my count, there are 9 from Australia,...
Obvioulsy the organising committee is doing all it can to get as many teams and institutions involved as possible. We did not anticipate demand for the...
Hello, Again, the committee apologises to those teams who have missed out on registration. Please let us reassure you that we are doing everything we can to...
I am looking forward to the lift of team nubers. We are going to send a team or two to Australasians. It is just unfair that preregistration lasts for only...
Affirmative Action rules apply at Australs this year, (as always!). I refer you to the AIDA Constitution which stipulates in paragraph 23, that 23.1 At...
dear convennor from university of dhaka we did register for 2 teams and 1 adjudicator but the official website is now showing 0. is there any probs in the...
Greetings, Dear kev, it's very astute of you to say 13 is more than 9, but you simply regard Asia as one nation. There are at least 7 Different Countries there...
Greetings Very soon the organizing committee will be announcing a range of initiatives designed to maximise participation in the Tournament. Since our last...
G'day, If the original suggestion was that it was "alarming" that Australian teams overwhelmingly dominated that list, I suggested that 1/3 is far from that....
Are invitational teams only allowed after everyone has registered, or do they register on the same basis as everyone else? Seems like if it's the latter,...
It's actually not the number of institutions that fills up the cap... it's more of the number of TEAMS an institution sends. So counting Asia as having 12 ...
Hello Friends, There seems to be a lot of animosity out there in the land of emails - enough to make what I think would be a really interesting version of big...
Dear Felicity and Daniel, Well done! You're doing an awesome job. We should all be grateful for the weeks of (voluntary, unpaid) hard work you're contributing...

G'day, Peejay is entirely correct in his comments regarding teams and institutions, and undoubtedly right that Australian universities will probably be able to...
to be fair, the committee did send several warning emails that the cut-off would be strictly enforced. they did also say when the registration would open. the...
This appears not to have come through when I sent it last week... ... For people's information, if they need it... In addition to the relevant Affirmative...
Hi Sam (and the world), This is the updated clause in the 2002 AIDA Constitution regarding AA exemptions: 23.3 If the affirmative action quota is not...
Unfortunately, the 2002 Constitution provided on the AIDA site is incorrect as regards the AA requirement. It was never properly updated after the Australs...
Hi All, The clause in the constitution relevant to team caps at Australs states that 22.5 Each institution may only send a maximum of six teams. I think...
I think Maryam is correct in her interpretation - and this is something we can bear in mind in the future in setting the first-round caps on the number of...
Greetings, I'm not asking for an equal distribution of attendance across regions and for everyone who wants to attend to be able to, because that is impossible...
I believe the idea of a lower cap per institution is a promising one, if the main goal is greater diversity and representation. Perhaps that can be discussed...
With respect to Peejay's post, I'm in agreement on the foreign teams issue. Question is, what do we do about it now? I suppose we can wait-and-see if...
