Phase clarifications:

Rebuttal Phase 1 – During this phase the opposing side will have to challenge the arguments of the supporting sides.

Rebuttal Phase 2 -- During this phase the supporting side will have to challenge the arguments of the opposing sides.

DEBATING PHASES

The Constructive Phase:
The constructive phase will be the first action where each participants will paste their opening statements,
arguments and closing remarks in one presentation of not more than 1000 words.
The best speeches are moved to the debate proper if there are more than the required numbers of participants.

Cross-Examination Phase:
The next phase is the cross-examination phase where each participant will have a chance to question the other
participants about the presented evidence in their speech if there is any.
The participant will have the opportunity to clarify or remove this evidence if they cannot be adequately proven.
The judges also can question all participants about the facts, data's and evidence in their presentations.

Partner Pairing Phase:
The next phase is the rebuttal phase where each participant will choose a sparring partner from the opposing side
to rebut his or her argument.
The organizers will pair partners, if there is any complexity.
Contestants will have to wait for the final pairing from the organizers before rebutting the arguments of their
opposing pair.

Rebuttal Phase 1:
The rebuttals should be short, precise and must not contain any new arguments or points.
There will be two or more chances to rebut the statements made by the other side after the first reply and
this same process is repeated when the other party are defending their own arguments.
The chances can go on to exceed the limit stated above if the time for that phase has not been exhausted.

Rebuttal Phase 2:
The next phase is the presentation of the closing statements of each participant and this should go with
reasons why their presented arguments has proven to either support or oppose the stated resolution of the debate.
The closing statements should also include reasons how their arguments have stood the test of rebuttals during
the debate and found to be still valid.

Judges Score:
The next phase will be for the judges to present their scores for each pair debate and give reasons for their
scores.

Audience Questions:
We believe our audience might have a different position and at this point they will be given the chance to
have a go at any debating participant to clarify their points or have a discussion with them concerning their
arguments.

Audience Voting:
Then the audience will make an open score for one pairing debate and give reasons for the given score.

Only members of the audience who registered to Nairaland pre 2011 will have a valid vote,
so this means that you must have registered to Nairaland as from 2010 going backward.
We might be flexible to this rule after proper feedback from the members.

Audience Score and General Reflection:
The organizers will collate the scores and announce the final audience choice;
this process should last for some minutes or hours and probably the next day (voting).

The thread is then thrown open for the general public to discuss and give feedback about the whole
process.

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 or we can go
with a system of three.

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

-Exactly 6pm the debate thread will be opened, we will supply the link on this thread.

-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 Top 4 or 6 candidates will proceed to the next round after the elimination phase.

-If we are not doing any elimination rounds then the debate will go on to the debating phase structure.
Literature › Re: Nairaland's Literary & Debating Day - Female Edition - "Battle Of Wits" by Cuddlemii(op):
GENERAL DEBATING RULES

-All Nairaland Forum rules should be strictly adhered to.

-Extreme profanity or constant use of mild profanity is strictly prohibited.

-Debaters MUST NOT incite their fellow debaters in any manner.

-This includes but is not limited to, threat of violence and incitement to
RELIGIOUS and TRIBALISTIC hatred.

-No personal attacks on other members would be permitted;
debaters SHOULD NOT resort to personal abuse or
harassment only comments relating to the subject being debated will be tolerated.

-Do not attack your fellow debaters! Specifically, members SHOULD address
the argument and not the poster.

-Do not let them bait you into a rule breaking reply, if you feel you have
been personally attacked call the attention of the Moderator to it so
that it can be treated accordingly.

-Do not assume that opposing teams are personally attacking you.
Tone is difficult to interpret online especially in a debate setting.

-No harsh wording: Words like "idiotic", "moronic", "stupid", “cretin”,
“dimwit” etc are not welcome here.
You can debate without being inflammatory.
*NOTE: The words in quotations are an example only and not to be taken literally.

-Word limits should be strictly adhered to.

-Lastly, this is not another avenue to vent; we intend to rationally discuss
topics of interest. If you feel yourself getting upset by a comment...take a
step back and let other members take over.
Passion is great but don't let it get out of hand.
