Novice Lincoln-Douglas Debate

Event Description:

RESOLVED: Civil disobedience in a democracy is morally justified.

***Due to the coronavirus epidemic, and the delayed start to the season, MHSAA made the decision to use the NSDA Novice LD topic for the entirety of the fall school semester.***

LINCOLN-DOUGLAS DEBATE (VARSITY AND NOVICE DIVISIONS)

• Debates in this division will follow the standard 6-3-7-3-4-6-3 format.
• Each debater has four minutes of prep time to use as they wish.
• Five preliminary rounds will determine breaks to elimination rounds. Rounds 4 and 5 will be power-matched based on the earlier preliminary record.
• Due to the truncated format of our debate rounds, we ask that NO DISCLOSURES are given during the rounds. While we appreciate the need for them, the tight schedule does not provide enough time for them.
• A novice debater is a competitor in their first year of competition in ANY event. If a student competed in middle school, but did not compete in debate events on that level, they may be considered novice during their first high school season.
• Laptop computers and tablet devices may be used by delegates, but 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.
