Answer:
Impromptu Debate
To debate effectively, you don’t have to take what you are saying about a particular subject to heart – all you have to do is make convincing arguments about your proposition and persuade your audience that your point of view is more sound than you opponent(s).
Could you defend a position without even knowing what the topic is ahead of time?
Format
The Speaker will prepare the impromptu motion in advance. Impromptu motions should be general, accessible to all and easily comprehended. Note: It is advised that the Speaker consult with a member of the executive to ensure that the motion is appropriate and that it is debatable. For example, a motion which is complex or would normally require research should be discouraged. Debaters will sign up in teams of government and opposition as per a usual debate.
The Speaker will announce the resolution and dismiss the debating teams to prepare for their debate.
The Prime Minister will define the resolution in their opening presentation.
Scoring
The debate is scored as a regular debate, however it should be anticipated that scores for “content” (supporting evidence) will be lower than in a regular debate. Supporting evidence is certainly still possible in the form of common knowledge or anecdotes – but cited sources of evidence are not expected.
Current Affairs Impromptu Debate
If you’re a news junkie and constantly hungry to debate the pressing issues of the day, the current affairs debate is for you.
Format
The Speaker will prepare the impromptu motion in advance. An impromptu motion for a current affairs debate should be “ripped from the headlines“ and accessible to all with even a passing familiarity with the issues of the day. Note: It is advised that the Speaker consult with a member of the executive to ensure that the motion is appropriate and that it is debatable. Debaters will sign up in teams of government and opposition as per a usual debate.
The Speaker will contact the debaters personally to announce the resolution on the Friday before a debate as well as create and share the definition for the resolution to guide the debaters in their research. The Speaker must also contact the Membership executive to ensure the agenda is updated online. As the debate begins, the speaker announces the definition.
Scoring
The debate is scored as a regular debate.
Points of Information
Points of information (POI) are a dynamic and enjoyable part of parliamentary debate.
Format
A point of information is a brief rejoinder (seven seconds or less) to the point then being made by the person speaking. It may be a concise statement or a pointed question and there is no follow-up.
Points of information are an integral part of parliamentary debating. A speaker who declines to accept any points may seem to fear the opponents arguments. On the other hand, a speaker who accepts too many points of information loses control of his or her speech. Usually, a constructive speaker will accept two points of information. Accepting them when offered shows that you are confident of your arguments and prepared to defend them.
To make a Point of Information; the member wishing to make the POI stands.
The member speaking can either:
Accept by acknowledging the member,
Defer by saying “wait a moment please,” or
Reject the POI by saying “no thank you” or wave them down.
Rules
If the member speaking accepts the POI they should answer immediately and continue with their speech.
Two points of information are permitted per regulation speech: neither during the first or last minute of a speech nor during a summation.
The Speaker will ensure questioning debaters remain in order while delivering accepted points of information. The adjudicator is expected to penalize teams who go over time or otherwise abuse points of information – e.g. verbosity and badgering.
Scoring
When Points of Information are accepted for a debate, a debater will lose points for:
Attempts to raise a POI outside of time limit;
Too long of a question (longer than seven seconds);
Attempt at a follow up question; and
Not using/accepting POI.
However, they will gain points for:
POI successfully distracting speaker; and
Accepting POI within a reasonable window, and not allowing it to become a distraction.
Cross-Examination Debate (aka Policy Debate)
Debating rewards speakers who can think on their feet, communicate effectively, prepare thoroughly and organize their thoughts; Cross-examination debate highlights these qualities. Cross-Examination Debate differs from a regular debate in that it places emphasis on questioning or cross-examination between constructive speeches. While specific practices vary, Cross-Examination Debate typically rewards intensive use of evidence, and is more focused on content than on deliv
