Policy Debate

Event Description:

Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase its security cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in one or more of the following areas: artificial intelligence, biotechnology, cybersecurity.

POLICY DEBATE

• Four preliminary rounds will determine breaks to elimination rounds. This also depends on the number of entries and the 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's 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 their need, the tight schedule does not provide enough time for them.
• 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.
