!.1 Content is the argument used by a debater di"orced #rom the speakingstyle.

!.! 2# an argument is weak it should be marked accordingly e"en i# the other team does not e7pose its weakness.

!.$ 2n deciding the strength or weakness o# an argument ad3udicators should

not be in#luenced by their own personal belie#s or specialised knowledge.

-.1.% 2t also co"ers pronunciation #luency rhythm intonation and clarity o# speech. English being a second language here ad3udicators shouldnot be looking #or Bueen’s English in our debaters but any e7pressionwhich is not clearly understood should not merit high marks in the

1.= The %o"ernment must present a reasonable de#inition o# a motion.This means'

1.1 &n recei"ing a motion both teams should ask' ‘What is the issue thatthe two teams are e7pected to debate What would an a"eragereasonable person reading the motion think that it is about ’

1.! 2# the motion poses a clear issue #or debate 0i.e. it has an ob"ious meaningthe %o"ernment must de#ine the motion accordingly. When the motion hasan ob"ious meaning 0one which the a"erage reasonable person wouldrealise any other de#inition would not be reasonable.

1.$ 2# there is no ob"ious meaning to the motion the range o# possible meaningsis limited to those that allow #or a reasonable debate. Choosing a meaning

that does not allow the &pposition room #or debate would not be areasonable de#inition. Truisms and tautologies lea"e the &pposition no room#or debate and are clearly illegitimate.

1.) When de#ining words in the motion so as0i to allow the ob"ious meaning to be debated or0ii when there is no ob"ious meaning

to gi"e e##ect to a possible meaning which would allow #or a reasonabledebate the %o"ernment must ensure that the de#inition is one thea"erage reasonable person would accept.

!.= The de#inition must match the le"el o# abstraction 0or speci#icity o# the motion sothat the debate is as speci#ic or general as the motion itsel#. Speci#ic motionsshould be de#ined speci#ically and general motions generally.

$.= 6otions e7pressed as general principles must be pro"en true as general principles. A single e7ample will neither pro"e nor dispro"e a general principle. 4indingarguments that e7plain the ma3ority o# rele"ant e7amples will be more important.

).= When suggesting parameters to the debate or proposing particular models or criteria to ad3udicate it by the %o"ernment must ensure such parameters modelsor criteria are themsel"es reasonable. They must be ones that the a"erage

reasonable person would accept as applicable to the debate.

).1 The %o"ernment ability to set reasonable parameters to a debate does notpro"ide a license to restrict the motion arbitrarily.

).! When the motion re9uires the %o"ernment to propose a solution to aproblem and the %o"ernment has to set out the details o# its proposedsolution to pro"e its e##ecti"eness the %o"ernment must ensure that thedetailed solution gi"en 0the %o"ernment ‘model’ or ‘plan’ is a reasonable

11



one such that the a"erage reasonable person would accept it is applicableto the debate.

*.= 2# the %o"ernment de#inition is unreasonable the &pposition may'

*.1 Accept it anyway 0and debate the %o"ernment case regardless>

*.! Challenge it 0argue that the de#inition is unreasonable put up an alternati"ereasonable de#inition and a case based on this>

*.$ ;roaden the debate back to the words in the motion 0i# the %o"ernment hasunreasonably restricted the motion and is arguing a narrower "ersion o# it>

*.) Challenge the de#inition 0as in *.! but argue that ‘e"en i# ’ it isreasonable the %o"ernment case is #lawed 0as in *.1.

+.= &nce the de#inition is settled each team has to present a case supported byarguments and e7amples. There#ore debates shall not be e"aluated based on their de#initions alone.

+.1 A case sums up the team arguments and states why its side o# the motion iscorrect.

+.! Arguments are reasons or rationales why the team case is correct.

+.$ E7amples are #acts e"ents occurrences and the like that show the teamarguments are correct.

-.= Whereas an unduly restricti"e de#inition 0such as limiting a general motion to asingle e7ample is illegitimate and can be challenged or broadened a %o"ernmentthat runs a restricti"e case 0such as limiting itsel# to a single argument actslegitimately and cannot be challenged #or doing so but runs the risk o# the&pposition being able to more easily counter that case 0by dispro"ing that oneargument and, or by raising other arguments that dispro"e the motion as de#ined.

(.= 2n all cases the team that manages to pro"ide reasons as to why their de#initionand cases are the most reasonable practical and bene#icial shall win the debate. 2# a debater claims that a de#inition or a case is unreasonable then they should state

reasons to support that claim. Ad3udicators should balance reasons and rebuttals indetermining which team wins.

1$.= Third debaters should not bring new arguments> new e7amples to e7plain pointsthat were made pre"iously or to e7plain a rebuttal is not considered a newargument.

1).= The more a debate progresses the more each debater must spend time dealing

with what has been said by pre"ious debaters.

1*.= :ence the more a debate progresses the less time will be spent by each debater in presenting a new part o# the team case and the more time will be spentresponding to the other team arguments.
