Charger Challenge 2024
2024 — Draper, UT/US
Policy
Event Description:
Policy
The judge will watch the entirety of the debate and then decide which side won. NO ORAL CRITIQUE OR DISCLOSURE!
RFD: REASON FOR DECISION--Must be at least 10 words on why the team that won won the round based on the Rubric/Skills.
Policy debate is a two-on-two debate where an affirmative team proposes a plan and the negative team argues why that plan should not be adopted. The topic for policy debate changes annually, so debaters throughout the course of the year will debate the same topic.
One member of each team will perform the ‘first’ speeches, the other the ‘second’ speeches. So the person who reads the 1AC will also perform the 1AR, for example. Note that the debate begins with the affirmative speaking first, and then switches midway through the debate where the negative speaks first, thus giving the affirmative the ability to speak last.
The Negative position can argue strictly against the affirmative, and/or offer a counterplan.
