Summary: Character SPAR is a spontaneous event where competitors face off against each other in debates about a variety of issues, from current social and political issues to “Paper bags are better than plastic bags” as specific famous literary, political and popular figures. The debate will proceed as follows: the Pro is given a topic, which states the topic, his/her character, and the Con’s character; 1 minute prep for Pro; 1 minute opening argument for Pro (in which the Pro MUST state the topic AND the Con’s character); 1 minute prep for Con; 1 minute opening for Con; 3 minute cross-examination (or “clash”) period between Pro and Con; 1 minute closing for Con; 1 minute closing for Pro.
