> Dear Asia Directors and Coaches:
> 
> Final Recommendation for Asia Finals Slots. You may pass this info to all.
> We have (26 + 1) slots!
> 
> It has been a great year for Asia ICPC because of your strong support and excellent work. Dr. Poucher, the ICPC Executive Director has given the first and the likely only runner up slot to Asia. This is because of the strong growth in Asia and the tremendous increase in Beijing and Hangzhou registration. It is also because of the great momentum from a new country and new site, Vietnam.
> Thanks to Dr. Poucher for (a great Christmas gift or) a wonderful New Year gift to all of
> us in Asia.

> The following universities are qualified from Asia sites to be advanced to World
> Finals. There will be only ONE team per university to be advanced to World Finals.
