(4) There will be 3 debate rounds, and teams will have to defend both sides of the resolution over the course of the tournament. The organizers will draw lots to determine school matchups and stances for all 3 rounds, and the results will be posted on May 28th (Saturday) at the venue.
(5) Each debate match will have a panel of 3 judges. Professors, senior high school teachers, and experts specializing in relevant fields will be invited to adjudicate.
(6) Scoring system:
The competition will operate on a points-accrual system. For each round, each team may accrue a score from 0 to 3. The top three teams, ranked by their total points across three rounds, will be the winning teams; if any two teams have the same points, the “difficulty level” of their respective matches given by the
adjudication committee will decide which team wins out. Debaters from the winning teams will contend for the honor of “Best Debater”. If debaters from a particular team obtain the same votes, the adjudicators will make their choice based on the “difficulty level” of their respective matches. And the teams ranked 4th and 5th will be given “Judges’ Choice Award”; Debaters from the two teams will contend for the honor of “Honorable Mention Debater”. If there is a tie vote, the adjudicators will again make their choice based on the difficulty level of their respective matches.
(7) Debaters on the stage are not allowed to discuss with their teammates at all times; but during cross-examination periods, cross-examinees can take the needed evidence from their teammates to facilitate the cross-examination.
Violators will be penalized by having his/her score for that cross-examination taken off.
(8) Each team needs to prepare evidence cards for cross-examination. Any evidence cited during the debate should have a corresponding evidence card, which may be reviewed upon request by the cross-examiner and their teammates. The card(s) need to be returned at the end of the constructive speech following the cross-examination. Teams are advised to bring two sets of cards for this reason.
(9) Timing：During the debate the timer will flash cards and ring a bell, indicating the remaining time :
1) Constructive speeches: 2 min, 1 min, 30 sec 2) Cross examination: 1 min and 30 sec
3) Rebuttal: 2 min, 1 min, 30 sec
When time is up, the timer will also ring the bell, with subsequent rings for every 10 seconds overtime. Debaters will hear a long ring after 30 seconds overtime, and have to get off the stage by then. A point will be deducted for every 10 seconds overtime. Debaters will be called to the lectern, and thus must proceed to the lectern immediately. A point is deducted for every 10 seconds of tardiness.
