Event Description:

Policy (CX) Debate is a two-on-two format of debate. Resolutions last the entire school year and engage with federal domestic and/or international policy issues. The Affirmative team advocates for the resolution, typically through the adoption of a plan that serves as an example of the resolution. The Negative team argues against the adoption of the plan, either through advocating for the status quo or a competitive option. Students prepare cases and then engage in an exchange of speeches and cross-examinations in an attempt to convince a judge that they are the better debater in the round.
