The event was marked by considerable controversy, including highly publicized failures by the university administration to meet promised budgetary obligations to pay independent adjudicators in non-controlled currencies (almost resulting in a strike and prevention of the 7th round of the tournament from occurring), removal and interrogation of Pakistani debaters who had legitimately obtained visa entry into the country, the undermining of the traditional Women's Night (designed to highlight the talent of female debaters) with a motorcycle exhibition explicitly aimed at men,[44] relocation of the tournament hotel to multiple new venues (different from and lesser to the promised standard of the originally offered accommodations at the ITC Grand Chola) without sufficient room to house all the participants, efforts by those hotels to lock participants out of their rooms (as late as 2AM, on multiple occasions, to settle incidental room charges), and the withholding of passports from participants attempting to catch flights out of the country in an effort to force them to pay funds promised by Rajalakshmi Engineering College.[45][46]
