Policy Debate

Event Description:

Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase its protection of water resources in the United States.

POLICY DEBATE

• Four preliminary rounds will determine breaks to elimination rounds, depending on the number of entries and pace of the tournament.

• The debate will follow the standard 8-3-8-3-8-3-8-3-5-5-5-5 format with open or closed cross-examination dependent on judge preference.

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

• 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.

• Internet-connected laptop computers and tablet devices may be used by debaters, 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. Host sites have no obligation to guarantee internet access to competitors.
