Mei-Chu Tournament

The Mei-Chu Tournament (simplified Chinese: 梅竹赛; traditional Chinese: 梅竹賽; pinyin: Méizhúsài; literally: "Plum-Bamboo Tournament") is an annual sports competition in March between National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) and National Chiao Tung University (NTCU) of Taiwan. Both schools are located in Hsinchu City, Taiwan. The competition was first held in 1969, although an unofficial tournament had been held in 1966.[1]

梅 (plum-tree) stands for NTHU and 竹 (bamboo) for NCTU. The symbolic names are taken from the founders of both universities, 'Mei' Yi-chi of NTHU and Ling 'Chu'-ming of NCTU, and they further represent pride and purity (plum) as well as rich and everlasting heritage (bamboo). During the Tournament, undergraduate students from each school are competing with those who are from the other with such sports and games as soccer, tennis, chess, etc. The Tournament is held during a week and is accompanied by attractions like concerts, barbecue and parades.

In 2011, NCTU won in badminton, baseball, chess, women's basketball and men's and women's volleyball, whereas NTHU won in table tennis, tennis, men's basketball and bridge, so that NCTU were overall winners.[2]

The years shown below are counted by the Minguo calendar (+ 1911 = Western Calendar; e.g., 58 + 1911 = 1969).
