Can people who are not part of the teams participate, like pointing out a few things here and there and putting in their 2cents every now and then?

okay guys, the staff has decided the last day post the 2 team leaders have made their closing statements, the topic of debate will be open for all our other members just for a day, and the result will be declared a day after, so the change in plan is as follows: (change in plan highlighted in red)


process of choosing the topic:

day 1 :
there will be 2 teams, one for the motion and the second against. they will get the option of three topics. the team speaking in favor will get the chance to strike off one topic out of the three, then the same will be done by the team which will speak against the motion and with this we will get the topic of discussion.

IMP - this day to be used for the preparation of the debate.

we already have a team to speak for the motion for the upcoming debate. so incase you want to speak for the motion we will have to form another team which will take a stand against the motion, and in that case your team can participate only when the second debate is announced, which should be in another months time from now.

the topic for the debate will be picked on the 25th by a strike off method where the team which speaks for the motion gets the first chance to strike off one of the 3 topics as suggested by enlightened monk followed by the team speaking against the motion and with that we will have our topic of debate.

please do let us know given the abouve will your team speak for the motion or against.

You can't randomly decide what you want to speak on.

You can't randomly decide what you want to speak on.

As a team we feel we should speak in support of a motion. For the sake of a debate we can’t change what we feel. :2guns:
