Default Suggestion for Debate Rules

Manitoba Speech and Debate Association
Rules of Cross-Examination Debate


Cross Examination Debate Score Sheet

Quick Guide to Debate

Or we could score by polling the readers at the end.

My $.02

I liked the debate score sheet and then maybe we could have comments from the forum. I want to see a few debates before I jump in myself. I was in debate club in high school but that has been awhile so I need a review.

Topics that would make a good debate...abortion, gun control, Invasion of Iraq, healthcare,etc....

jrafe seems ready anyone willing to jump in?

So much for the Formal Debates. How sad, can't even get anyone to pitch in on a standard set of rules. Well, except Sam.

Pick a topic, find an opponenet, agree on the rules to be followed and have at it.

Middle East - Israel - Palestine (gaza Strip, West Bank & refugee camps around world).

Title - What whould bring about peace in the Middle East between the Arabs and Jews.

Oppenent - this is the wrong termanolgy. it implies that the person is an enemy. Better to just go by are user names.

Rules -

To be civil to each other and respect the other persons view point. No matter hao contradicotry to yours.

No abusive language.

Facts and figures should be backed up with where they were taken from.

Not sure how the intial contact begins though.

I like where you are going with this OR and I agree with you
Rules would be good but how do you enforce them?

I think the rule should be, if you don't like what I am saying you have the right to challenge me to a duel, my choice of weapons
