During the debate, each student speaks and during that speech, the opponent can stand to ask a question after the first 30 seconds but before the last 30 seconds. No questioning or new arguments in the rebuttals. This debate includes a time to set the case, a time to make counterarguments and a time to rebut and summarize. No prep in round.
