Jesse wrote:I'd like to ask Sapper and Starman to participate on the Platonist team, as well as Vivisekt, as while it may not reflect his ideology exactly, his knowledge of it is precise, superior and knowledgeable and he is able to explain and defend it with eloquence. Failing that, I'll have to look to another. Unless I only need myself and two others... in which case, I'll PM those two gents and hope to get their cooperation.

1.The debate will start off with one team being told (by a judge) to post their oppening statement essay supporting their argument/ideology and this will be done by the team captain.
2. Opposing team will then give their oppening statement essay and that will be done by team captain
3. After this is done the first team asked to post their essay/oppening statement will be asked questions by the opposing team. A limit to about 10-15 questions may be asked by the team. The opposing team(Team B) will answer each question and the format will be like this. and after all questions by first team are asked and answered judge will tell the teams when it is the opposing teams turn to ask the other team questions and have them answered.
