NPTE-NPDA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE 1. DIVISIONS: ·
NOVICE-JUNIOR (college debater with no to limited
experience debating or a college debater with some experience but has not won
significant debate awards in high school nor college) ·
SENIOR (open to anyone) ·
Unusual situation with divisions, contact Jim Hanson at jim@climbthemountain.us ·
If needed, we will collapse divisions. 2. TIME LIMITS: Topic Announced
Online 20 minutes Prep 7 min. PMC 2 min. prep/cx 8 min. LOC 2 min. prep/cx 8 min. MG 1 min. prep/cx 8 min. MO 4 min. LOR 1 min. prep/cx 5 min. PMR POIs still occur as
is normal in parliamentary debates. Prep-CX does not replace points of
information. CX works as is normal
with the speaker who just spoke taking questions. “Tag-team” CX is fine too
but the person speaking next should not be expected to participate. 3. 5 ROUNDS PLUS APPROPRIATE ELIMS 4. MUTUALITY PREFERENCING: Teams will preference
judges 1, 2, 3 etc. with a small number of strikes. Judges will be placed into
rounds based primarily on mutuality with a small lean toward preferencing. Teams with 3 losses will not receive a
judge in the 61st -85th percentile unless it is
absolutely necessary. In tests done with NPTE preferencing,
this approach to judge placement maintained good preferencing,
extremely high mutuality (meaning teams got judges they rated nearly
equally), and was significantly more inclusive in use of judging obligations.
In tests at the NW Warmup, we have had similar inclusive results. IPDA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE 1. DIVISIONS: ·
