III. Participants

A. Regional competitions:

1. There will be three regional tournaments held respectively in the Northern, Central, and Southern regions of Taiwan. The tournaments are mainly for high school students (for international schools that means grade 9 to 12). Each school can send one team to participate. Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Priority will be given to high schools within their regions. (Each school should enter only one team. The second team from a school will be accepted only when there are spots unfilled after the registration deadline.) Please note that debaters who have won The Best Debater Awards in the same debate category in past National Tournaments, though can enter the contest to compete for the team award, are not eligible to run for individual awards. For policy debate, there will be 8 to 12 teams for each regional tournament, with 3-6 debaters (and 2 backup debaters) on each team. For non-policy debate, there will be 4 to 8 teams for each regional tournament, with 3-6 debaters (and 2 backup debaters) on each team. Among the registered debaters, the coach can decide who will debate as the affirmative and the negative as well as their speaking orders.

2. For policy debate, each school should have at least one coach, and send one English teacher to be the adjudicator. For non-policy debate, each school should have at least one coach, and an English teacher to be the adjudicator if notified. All adjudicators are required to attend a judges’ meeting prior to the tournament (pre- tournament judges’ meeting for the Central, Southern and Northern Tournaments are yet to be announced).

(4)

latest. No change is allowed afterwards (Please note that the change of the combination and the order simply means their debating sequence, and you may not replace any of the debaters already entered in the competition after your confirmation). Debaters who have won The Best Debater Awards in the same debate category in past National Tournaments, though can enter the contest to compete for the team award, are not eligible to run for individual awards.

3. For policy debate, each school should have at least one coach, and send one English teacher who has experience of judging English policy debate to be the adjudicator for the tournament. On the day of the tournament, a judges’ meeting will be held and all adjudicators are required to attend. For non-policy debate, each school should have at least one coach, and depending on the number of teams competing, an English teacher may have to be dispatched by the school to be the adjudicator.

分。三場賽事得分累積為該隊在本賽事之總分，依照參賽隊伍數量，將取賽事總分最高前三名為優勝隊伍，排名緊接其後之一至兩名者獲選評審團獎。若遇賽事總分相同時，則以評審決議排序積分決定先後順序；若遇排序積分相同時，以三輪對打隊伍之

排序積分總和作為判定標準，對手排序積分總和較高者勝出。非政策性辯論部分，每

場比賽各隊最多可獲四分，最少一分。兩場賽事得分累積為該隊在本賽事之總分，依

(8)

照參賽隊伍數量，將取賽事總分最高前一至兩名為優勝隊伍，排名緊接其後之一至兩名者獲選評審團獎。若遇賽事總分相同時，則以評審決議排序積分決定先後順序；若遇排序積分相同時，以兩輪對打隊伍之排序積分總和作為判定標準，對手排序積分總和較高者勝出。此外，評審將就各場賽事六位（政策性辯論）/十二位（非政策性辯

為最佳辯士，排名緊接其後之二至三名者為優良辯士。非政策性辯論部分，表現最佳

如若有兩名辯士拿下十分，則下一位辯士將拿八分）。依照參賽隊伍數量，三輪賽事

結束後，積分最高前一至二名者為最佳辯士，排名緊接其後之一至二名者為優良辯士。

若遇同分時，依序以「各場次競爭隊伍排序積分總和」（競爭隊伍積分總和較高者勝

出）、「該辯士是否同時參與正反方辯論」（同時參與正反方辯論者勝出）及「所屬隊

伍排序積分」（所屬隊伍積分較高者勝出）為判定標準。

(9)

道具。參加政策性與非政策性辯論各隊應就比賽中所可能引述之證據準備證據卡

（evidence cards），以備對方辯士審查佐證資料之用。對方辯士可於交叉質詢時提出要求審查某一證據卡或所有申論中所用之證據卡，並當場交由隊友檢視，唯須在該交叉質詢（政策性辯論）或問與答（非政策性辯論）時段後的申論（政策性辯論）或論

(八) 棄權處理：政策性辯論賽隊伍若臨時只有兩人可出賽，將由其中一人負責結辯。只有兩名辯士之隊伍，因無法滿足本賽事一隊至少三人之規定，故只具角逐個人獎項之資格，而無法競爭團體獎項。政策性及非政策性辯論參賽隊伍若無充分理由，報名後棄賽之隊伍，承辦單位將斟酌下一年是否錄取參賽。

(九) 參賽規範：政策性辯論賽事進行中，講臺上的辯士禁止與臺下隊友及觀眾交談互動，

唯被質詢者要求相關資料以回答質詢者問題時，隊友可傳遞相關資料（但不可與被質

詢者有言語討論），以利質詢順利進行。非政策性辯論賽事進行中，若有需要，隊友

可彼此協助，唯協助方式應以不打亂賽事進行為前提。參賽隊伍或個人若有失辯士風範之情事，一旦有具體事證，且經評審團會議通過，將取消其獲獎資格，由積分排名緊接在後之隊伍或個人依序遞補。

The top two to three teams, pending the number of participating schools, ranked by their total points across three rounds, will be the winning teams; the one to two teams ranked after that will be given “Judges’ Choice Award.” For each round in non-policy debate, each team may accrue a score of 1 to 4. The top one to two teams, pending the number of participating schools, ranked by their total points across two rounds, will be the winning teams; the one to two teams ranked after that will be given

“Judges’ Choice Award.”

2. If any two teams have the same points, their “ranking scores” will be examined to decide which team wins out. (The “ranking score” is the score given after all two or three rounds have been completed; judges in each panel will rank the teams they have judged and give each team a “ranking score.”) If their “ranking scores” are still the same, the “ranking scores”

of their respective opponent teams will determine which team is the winning team.

3. For each round in policy debate, each debater will be given a ranking score from 1 to 6 based on his/her performance by the adjudicators. The top two to three debaters, pending the number of participating schools, ranked by their total points across three rounds, will receive the honor of “Best Debater”; one to three debaters ranked after that will win the honor of “Honorable Mention Debater.” If any two debaters score the same points, the ranking will be determined based on the following criteria (in order of priority): 1) the

“ranking scores” of their opponent teams; 2) whether the debater defends both sides; 3) their team’s “ranking score.” For each round in non-policy debate, each debater will be given a ranking score from 1 to 12 based on his/her performance by the adjudicators. The top one to two debaters, pending the number of participating schools, ranked by their total points

(12)

across three rounds, will receive the honor of “Best Debater”; the one to two debaters ranked after that will win the honor of “Honorable Mention Debater”. If any two debaters score the same points, the ranking will be determined based on the following criteria (in order of priority): 1) the “ranking scores” of their opponent teams; 2) whether the debater defends both sides; 3) their team’s “ranking score.”

F. Timing:

1. For constructive speeches (policy debate) or case presentation (non-policy debate), the timer will flash cards and ring a short bell ring to indicate a 30-second remaining time, a long bell ring when time is up, subsequent short rings for every 10 seconds overtime, and a prolonged bell ring after 30 seconds overtime. When hearing the prolonged bell ring, debaters have to get off the stage immediately. A point will be deducted for every 10 seconds overtime.

2. For cross-examinations (policy debate) or Q&A (non-policy debate), the timer will flash cards and ring a short bell ring to indicate a 30-second remaining time, a long bell ring when time is up, and debaters have to get off the stage immediately.

3. For rebuttal speeches (policy debate) or summary & final pitch (non-policy debate), the timer will ring a short bell ring to indicate a 30-second remaining time, a long bell ring when time is up, subsequent short rings for every 10 seconds overtime, and a prolonged bell ring after 30 seconds overtime. When hearing the prolonged bell ring, debaters have to get off the stage immediately. A point will be deducted for every 10 seconds overtime.

4. For preparation periods for constructive speeches and cross-examinations (policy debate), and case presentations and Q&A’s (non-policy debate), the timer will ring a long bell ring when time is up. For the preparation period for rebuttal speeches (policy debate) and summary & final pitch (non-policy debate), the timer will ring a short bell ring to indicate a 30-second remaining time, and a long bell ring when time is up.

5. When it is time for a speech or questions, debaters for policy debate will be called to the lectern and thus must proceed to the lectern immediately, but debaters for non-policy debate only need to rise up from the seat and do not need to proceed to the lectern. A point will be deducted for every 10 seconds of delay.

G. Required items:

1. Debaters must bring their Student ID cards or ID cards.

2. Dictionaries and references are allowed, but all electronic devices are prohibited during the debate.

3. Each team needs to prepare evidence cards for cross-examination (policy debate) or Q&A (non-policy debate). Any evidence cited during the debate should have a corresponding evidence card, which may be reviewed upon request by the cross-examiner/questioner and their teammates. The card(s) need to be returned at the end of the constructive speech (policy debate) or case presentation (non-policy debate) following the cross-examination (policy debate) or Q&A (non-policy debate). Teams are advised to bring two sets of cards for this reason. The card(s) may also be reviewed by the adjudicators upon request after each debate round. Each card should contain the following information: tag, publication or website, date of publication or retrieval, name and qualification of the author, and the actual quote. If the evidence is in Chinese, no translation is required. However, if it is in other languages, it needs to be translated into English. Each card should contain only one piece of evidence.

H. For each round, there should be 3 debaters on each team. If, for some reasons, a team only has 2 debaters available, it may proceed with 2 debaters (with one giving both constructive and rebuttal speeches), but will not be able to compete for team awards. If a team drops out without a sound reason, the organizers reserve the right to disqualify the team sent by the same school

(13)

from the tournament next year.

I. For policy debate, the debater on stage is not allowed to discuss with his/her teammates at all times; but during cross-examination periods, cross-examinees can take the needed evidence from their teammates to facilitate the cross-examination. For non-policy debate, debaters can help their teammates at all times as long as it is done in an orderly and unobstructive fashion.

All teams/debaters must not behave disrespectfully toward others, or the adjudication committee may invalidate their claim to any prize. The vacancy will be filled by the next ranked team/debater.

III. Onsite Code of Conduct

A. The rooms will not have microphones.

B. Debaters can use their cell phone as a timing device during the debate.

C. Eating and drinking are prohibited in the classroom.

D. Doors will be shut right after the competition begins. Any entry is forbidden except for staff members and coordinators of the organizer.

E. In order not to disturb the speaker, chatting and walking around in the classroom are not allowed during the debate. Please make sure your cell phone is turned off as well.

F. Clapping is not allowed during the debate.

G. Members in the audience are not allowed to talk to debaters in the front, nor are they allowed to pass over any information or materials.

H. If you want to record or take photos, please set up your device before the debate begins. Flash is prohibited.

I. Participating schools will be notified of the classrooms for debate matches once the information becomes available.

IV. Dress Code and Identity Check

Debaters should be dressed in formal attire that is not their school uniforms and shall bring with them their student ID cards.
