Getting to know debating
• Debating is a clash of argumentations among the Government team and Opposition team
• Everything starts from the word “motion”• Competitive debating aims to simulate a
living, breathing parliamentary debate• The soul of debating is to argue on policies,
or propositions of thought; good or bad, effective or not effective, useful or useless

motion
• Is the topic, a full propositional statement that states what the debate is/shall be about
• Usually proposes a policy, against the status quo, or affirming the virtue (goodness) of a state or condition
• A government team must defend the motion, and an opposition team must negate the motion

Definition
• Is a need to clarify what the debate is specifically about, per keyword of motion if necessary
• Scopes down a motion; to achieve a mutual agreement among both teams on the interpretation of the motion thus the entry point for a debate -> “room of debate”
• A Government team holds the right to determine and offer the definition of a debate, while the opposition can accept, broaden or challenge the provided definition

definition
A definition is ideal if it :• provides interpretation of a motion
that is logical and acceptable by common sense
• simply aimed to clarify the debate from the motion wording
• provides room for opposition to negate• Is not truistic, squirreling, tautological,
time and place set

Theme line
The main reason why a motion is defended or opposed
Core argument of a team Should be elaborated thoroughly Burden of proof

Team split
Division of argument in a team It helps to make a team organized It makes sure that the argument is
correctly sustained

argument• points of view that supports the team
stance (support/refute)• Logical and thoroughly explained• Structure (the AREL theory)
1. Assertion2. Reasoning3. Evidence/Example
Link Back Pool of arguments should be evenly and strategically spread between the 1st and 2nd speakers.
Arguments should be consistent within the team’s main stance (theme/team line).

rebuttals
• responses on your opponent’s arguments
• It’s not as simple as “accusing” things• Simply saying your opposition’s
arguments are inferior does not constitute a good rebuttal
• Rebuttals must logically explain and analyze the weaknesses of an argument
