Code of the Debater
FOR MYSELF: I will research my topic and know what I am talking about. I will respect the subject matter of my debates. I will choose persuasion over coercion and violence. I will, in a debate, use the best arguments I can to support the side I am on.
FOR OTHERS: I will respect their rights to freedom of speech and expression, even though we may disagree. I will be honest about my arguments and evidence and those of others.

Debating
“Propositions of Policy”
We are arguing “Propositions of Policy”-- Not “Fact” or “Value” propositions, but facts and values will be part of the policy/ies proposed to be changed or improved.
How to analyze and address a proposition:Is there a problem and how serious is it?
What are the various solutions, with the advantages and disadvantages of each?
What is the best solution?
Debating “Propositions”
Main Issues in Propositions of Policy:Are evils caused by the present system?Are these evils great enough to demand a
change?Are the evils inherent and impossible to
repair in the present system?Will the proposed solution remove the evils?Is the proposed solution free from
objections?Is the proposed solution the best solution?
Debating
“Propositions of Policy”
Understanding the elements of a proposition allow the debater to better attack, argue, support or defend the proposition.

Debate Process and Format
Flowing / Flow SheetingTaking notes properly ("flow sheeting“ or "flowing“ is the debate term) is an essential entry level skill . . . In order to answer arguments by your opponents, you must be able to write them down so that you can remember them and respond to them in order. Likewise, your flow sheet becomes the text which you use when you speak. . . it becomes the notes which you speak from . . . More than any other skill besides speaking itself, flow sheeting is important to your debate experience....and important to winning.
