PUBLIC FORUM DEBATE (VARSITY AND NOVICE DIVISIONS)

  • The debate will follow the 4-4-3-4-4-3-3-3-3-2-2 format.

  • Each team will have 3 minutes of prep time to use as they wish.

  • THREE preliminary rounds will determine breaks to FINALS.

  • Due to the truncated format of our debate rounds, we ask that NO DISCLOSURES be given during the rounds. While we appreciate their need, the tight schedule does not provide enough time for them.

  • A MIDDLE SCHOOL DEBATER is a competitor in the FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH, OR EIGHTH GRADE.

  • Internet-connected laptop computers and tablet devices may be used by debaters. Still, they may not be used to receive information for competitive advantage from non-competitors (coaches, assistant coaches, teammates, other students, etc.) inside or outside of the room in which the competition occurs. Host sites have no obligation to guarantee internet access to competitors.
