Received this in e-mail...

It is my pleasure to write to you on behalf of the Harvard-Radcliffe Kendo
Club and invite the members of your respective kendo clubs and dojos to
participate in the upcoming 9th Annual Harvard-Invitational Shoryuhai
Intercollegiate Kendo Tournament.

The tournament dates have been set for the weekend of April 23-24, 2005,
at Harvard University. The Shoryuhai is open to all college students
practicing kendo in North America. Colleges or universities with
established kendo clubs may wish to send teams to compete in the
undergraduate team competition, which takes place on the first day of the
two-day event. The second day will feature an individuals competition,
open to all students, faculty, and staff of accredited 4-year colleges and
universities.

The Shoryuhai Intercollegiate Kendo Tournament seeks to promote kendo at
the collegiate level. While many members of the overall kendo community
begin practicing kendo at an early age, many collegiate students
practicing kendo began only after being exposed to it in college. Because
of this relatively even level of experience, collegiate kendo teams are
perfectly matched for each other, more so than in many other sports where
players potentially have years of prior experience.

If you are interested in participating in this year's tournament, or wish
to find out more about the Shoryuhai, such as fees, times/locations,
regulations, etc., please visit our web site at:

Registrations will be accepted online until April 11, 2005.
