Rules
  • 1.) The affirmative or proposition team (the pro team)  is the first to speak up. A response from the opposition team (against team) then follows. 
  • 2a.) Each member of the opposing sides should take their turns in speaking for min. 3  - max. 5 minutes.
  • 2b.) Each speaker is given a maximum of five minute to speak and share their evidence. Once the time runs out, the speaker must close their statement or be halted by the host.
  • 3.) Interruption on the speaker is strictly prohibited (so everyone must be silent during these moments).
  • 4.) The audience, who often act as judges, cannot participate in the debate.
  • 5.) The voting from the audience is typically done with a show of hands. The majority wins.
  • 6.) Only when the final proposition team member is speaking can the opposition team request a POI (Point of Information), this means that the student has 15 seconds to share that information.
