Hi!
Out of a total of five rounds of debating in the preliminary rounds, we have decided to release motions for two of the rounds over this weekend. We hope that debating motions that you would have time to gather information and arguments for, might help you familiarise yourself with the rules of parliamentary debate. However, we will not release information on which sides you will be arguing for.
As a general guideline, please do keep in mind that it is necessary, not only to present your own arguments, but to engage with the arguments brought up by the other side. If it appears that you seem not to remain dynamic in the debate and change up your strategy as you go on, you will be penalised on method and matter.
Cheers!
PS: If you're wondering what method & matter are, ask your teacher for the adjudication guidelines!
