Varsity Lincoln-Douglas Debate

Event Description:

Resolved: A just government ought to recognize an unconditional right of workers to strike.

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 high-school competition in ANY event. If a student competed in middle school, but never competed against high-school competitors, they may be considered novice during their first high school season.

• 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.
