The tournament will consist of two rounds of cross-examination debate, where teams will debate for both the affirmative and negative sides in consecutive rounds. Constructive speeches may be no longer than 5 minutes, 3 minutes for cross-examination, and 3 minutes for final rebuttals. Neither heckling nor squirreling are permitted.

All teams will register as open. Schools may send a maximum of three teams, although schools may request more (subject to space availability – decisions will be made no later than 18 February 2016).

Each school must bring one judge for every team registered in the tournament. If this is problematic, please let me know. Judges may not be high school students for this tournament.
