DEBATE STRUCTURE

-The debate will be segmented into different phases and we are hoping it should last for about three hours maximum or less.

-The debaters will be selected from those who have indicated interest and they will be asked to prepare a compelling speech
that either argues in support or against the resolution or topic.

-The affirmative side argues in support of the resolution and tries to prove it correct.

-The negative side argues against the resolution and tries to prove it incorrect.

-The number of participants is not yet determined but we are hoping to have two each on both side of the argument and
if we have more than two participants then the best two articles will be selected for the debate proper.

-The debating resolution will be presented by the organizers and stated in the positive sense.

-Exactly 6pm the debate thread will be opened.

-We expect each participant to have composed his arguments before 6pm, so all the participants are to post their
arguments between 6.00pm and 6.10pm

*The chairman will signal the beginning of each stage
*No member of the audience will be allowed to post between 6pm and 8:35pm
*Any post from the audience will be hidden during this time

-Each of the judges will mail or his/her scores of all the participants to the chairman who will collate the scores
and post the final scores on the thread if we are going the elimination route or they can as well post it on
the debate thread.

-Only the selected candidates will proceed to the next round after the elimination phase.

-We have created dummy accounts for all debaters.
The debaters won't be debating with their handles/monikers but the ones that will be assigned to them by us.
This handles will be sent to the debaters few minutes before the debate starts.

-That way, the judges & the audience will vote based on the quality, credibility & standard of the write-ups/deliveries.
This will also eliminate the issue of bias, favoritism, connections(man know man) & votes based on beauty/popularity.

-After the debate is over(.i.e scores have been collated),
the debaters will return as themselves and announce by themselves, the handle/moniker they used in debating.
