Debate is a game that's most enjoyable when two teams clash in-depth over a well-prepared topic. Succeed at engaging your opponent and I'll want to judge you and vote for you. If it looks like you don't care about the round, I won't either.
Persuade me with your excellent public speaking skills and a some empirical evidence. I am looking for a classic style debate with clear roadmap and contentions.
Speed: Be clear. I’m not good with speed. You need to articulate every single word you say. Speed is a strategic tool only insofar as I can understand what you are saying and transcribe it, in some form, onto my flow.
