• In addition, through debate debaters acquire
unique educational benefits as they learn and
polish skills far beyond what can be learnt in
any other setting. At the very least,

compelling evidence in action.

Each member of a team shall deliver a constructive speech and a rebuttal

3. Preparation Time. A team shall take no more than eight minutes total
elapsed preparation time during a round of debate.
Presenting a very brief preview of argument order before speeches, often
referred to as a “roadmap,” aids in clarity of the round and is not
considered part of the speech. However, debaters should not abuse this
privilege by excessive length of the roadmap. Abuse may count against a
team at the discretion of the judge(s).
