RULES AND FORMAT
FORMAT: Two conferences composed of five debaters, in an every man for themself round-robin style regular season. After five weeks of debates, the Top Three from each conference will advance to the Playoffs, and eventually the Finals.
Each week, there will be four debates (two from each conference, with one man from each conference having a bye). Five weeks, meaning everyone faces each other, and everyone has one bye each.
RULES: At the beginning of each week, the match ups will be posted, with the Debate Topic Question. They will be posted when neither participant is online, as to avoid any bias or advantage. Away team posts first.
You will have a week to exchange posts. If you feel like you're argument is closed, then you can close it, that just means your opponent can continue to debate his point and argue against yours. No maximum or minimum number of points, all depends on how concise or elaborate you want to be.
Once each debater has closed their argument, or I close the debate, then the three judges will be assigning each debater a score out of 10. When scoring, the judges should assess how well the debater has proven their point, using valid and relevant discussion, statistical evidence where appropriate, rebuttal where applicable, and overall coherency.
Judges are allowed to deem the debate a tie, giving each debater the same score out of 10. I am using this scoring system, as opposed to simply voting, as a back up for a tie breaker in the standings.
ANY QUESTIONS ARE TO BE ASKED IN THIS THREAD
