Getting to know debating
Debating is a clash of argumentations amongthe Government team and Opposition team
Everything starts from the word motion
The soul of debating is to argue on policies, orpropositions of thought; good or bad,effective or not effective, useful or useless
Who shouts the loudest does not win!

Depth of Debating 102.1
Definition Is a need to clarify what the debate is specifically
about, per keyword of motion if necessary. But it isnot a dictionary explanation of per word meaning.But what room of debate the words formulate.
Scopes down a motion; to achieve a mutualagreement among both teams on the interpretationof the motion thus the entry point for a debate ->room of debate
A Government team holds the right to determineand offer the definition of a debate, while theopposition can accept, or challenge the provideddefinition

A definition is ideal if :
Provides interpretation of a motion that is logicaland acceptable by common sense
It is simply aimed to clarifythe debate from themotion wording
In setting a definition there shouldbe room foropposition to negate the debate
Examples of reasonable vs unreasonabledefinition.

REBUTTALS
Are responses on your opponents arguments
Its not as simple as accusing things
Simply saying your oppositions arguments areinferior doesnot constitute a good rebuttal
Rebuttals must logically explain and analyze the
weaknesses of an argument

CASE of a team
All of the above from 101-105 is the anatomy
of the case of a team, which is practically
the body of what the team is proposing in the
debate
The exciting part is that teams have mostly 30
minutes to do all of that

Strategy that must not be named!!
DEFINITIONAL CHALLENGE
Highly not encouraged, it ends up in non-dynamicdebates
Only when the given definition is unfair andundebatable! -> Truistic, Squirelling, Tautological,Time Place setting
But when a challenge is needed, it becomescompulsory for the opposition team to execute!
