> Dear Asia Directors and Coaches:
> (Initial Recommendation for Finals Slots.)
> It has been a great year for Asia ICPC because of your strong support 
> and encouragement. Thanks for your suggestions and many meetings with you.
> I will try to sort out all of your suggestions when final slots are settled.
> Site Directors may pass this message to anybody.
> (1)	The following Part I is the earned slots from each site calculated by 
> Dr. Poucher.  Poucher used a formula based on the total number of universities
> registered in each site plus some bonus pints. Asia earned a total of 26 slots this year.
> The bonus points include total # of teams registered, total # of teams in preliminary contests, and # of teams solving at least one problem.
> (2)	The Part II is my initial recommendations for World Finals. I am holding some
> slots in a few sites waiting for the outcome of Coimbatore site. Over there, there are
> many foreign teams registered and it will be another big battle. After the battle, I will
> make additional recommendations.
>       (3) The Part III is to show you how I calculate the slots for each site. I drew a line on the ranking of each site cutting thru some good break points based on the earned slots. I also adjust the lines with other criteria such as the reasonable balance of development 
> of all sites, the host universities near the break point line, and the multiple teams of universities. If a university has only 1 qualified team within the lines, I count one slot
> used for the site. If a university has 4 teams qualified within lines, I count each team 0.25 slots for the site in which the team registered. I used this same formula last year. The Part III indicates the slot used for each team, and the slot used for the site. This calculation is
> for references only. It is not used for final recommendation. The balance of all factors is
> the most important criterion for the recommendation. This calculation is to confirm the
> recommendation is a good one
>        (4) The three sites from Mainland China earned us a total 13.7 slots. For the balance
> of development of all sites, I recommend only 8+ slots for those 3 sites and there are 9+ Chinese teams for Finals from all Asia sites. They helped all sites to get more slots.
> Thanks to them for the great jobs done.
