The document discusses reply speeches in debating. It notes that reply speeches occur at the end of the debate in reverse order, with the negative team speaking first. The purpose of a reply speech is to summarize why a team won the debate rather than reargue their position. Different types of reply structures are outlined such as basic, narrative, and narrow replies. Guidance is provided on focusing on a team's own arguments or the opposition's failures, and things to avoid in a reply speech.
