it’s policy debate… That’s the way it’s been for a long time.
You have EIGHT MINUTES for your first speech. That was barely enough time to throw out my biofuels affirmative and make sure I covered all the bases.
My favorite was successfully defending against Gobal Warming and Global Cooling by accepting both of them.
My least favorite was running against a HAARP conspiracy theory affirmative. Bleh… the judge wasn’t very nice either despite my partner’s improvised Spiderman Solves counter-plan.
If you want “real world” debate, then you go with Model UN, Mock Trial, or Lincoln-Douglas.
