- The note-taking technique used in debate to track all points and arguments. This is separated by speech for organizational purposes. This is used to go down each point made to provide an organized clash in debate.
- Aligning your arguments directly to your opponents’ points. Good debates provide a lot of this. Debates get very hard to judge when there are two teams making points but not attacking the other teams points as well. Make your points clearly, but attack every argument your opponent makes.
- The exact wording of your topic. Good ones are clearly worded to imply a clear Pro and Con stance. For example: “Immigration” is not one . “The USFG should pass the immigration reform bill” is one.
- The speeches where you offer your main points following the basic structure we have used in class. This is written word for word and includes at least one valid quote/source for every point made. This includes an introduction, a “framework” weighing mechanism, your main points, and a conclusion.
- agree.

- Time allotted to each team that does not count as speaking time. This time (3 minutes per team for you) is used to prepare notes for your next speech and discuss strategy with your partner.

Debate Vocab 2018-03-09
Across
- Giving your audience a very basic preview of your speech. Typically: “Judge, I will be attacking our opponents’ case, and defending ours with the time remaining.” This tells the audience you are organized.
- An argument that goes unanswered by your opponent. Dropping an argument will cause you to not be able to address it later. This is bad, very, very bad.
- Giving your audience a heads up when you change arguments. “Now on my opponents first point,” is an example of sign posting. We now know where to write your upcoming response on our flow. It is very important to tell your judge where to write your arguments. If you don’t, they may not write them down at all.
- The note-taking technique used in debate to track all points and arguments. The flow is separated by speech for organizational purposes. The flow is used to go down each point made to provide an organized clash in debate.
- valid quotes and sources that are delivered conversationally. Sometimes referred to as a “card” which refers to the days when debaters cut and pasted their quotes on note cards.
- Using the flow to argue against your opponents’ arguments.
Down
- The exact wording of your topic.
- Speaking time allotted to review arguments and clarify the round. No new arguments are allowed in rebuttals. In Public Forum, rebuttals are called First Speaker Summary and Final Focus.
- Time allotted to each team that does not count as speaking time. This time (3 minutes per team for you) is used to prepare notes for your next speech and discuss strategy with your partner. It can be used before any of your speeches. It is NOT used before an opponent’s speech or before a crossfire period.
- The speeches where you offer your main points following the basic structure we have used in class. A constructive is written word for word and includes at least one valid quote/source for every point made. A constructive includes an introduction, a “framework” weighing mechan
- The cross examination period where all four debaters are allowed to speak.
- A main point or separate argument; a general statement or point you are trying to make.
- The cross examination period where you and your opponent take turns asking questions. This period is one versus one. There are two types of questions: clarification and questions of exploitation to set up your future arguments. Be strategic, but polite.
- the lens through which you would like your argument viewed. This is used to help the audience weigh your points. For example, a Con gun control case might use “Constitutionality” (the 2nd Amendment) as their framework and offer it as the highest value in the round. A “Pro” gun control case might use “Safety” as the highest value in the round.
- The so-what factor of your claim. Impacts win debates. Explain why every claim is important. Assuming that something is important without proving the impact of it usually loses debates.
- Aligning your arguments directly to your opponents’ points. Good debates provide a lot of clash. Debates get very hard to judge when they are two teams making points but not attacking the other teams points as well. Make your points clearly, but attack every argument your opponent makes.

- when a member has the full attention of the assembly to speak (also refers to the area where the assembly meets, where its members speak, and where it conducts its business).
- this method is employed to balance recognition of speakers among various spatial zones in the chamber, so students seated in any given area aren't disadvantaged. The chair should ensure that an equal number of affirmative and negative speeches are called from the same zone.
- PO selects speakers based whom they have already recognized for questions and motions. The problem with this is that the PO could still be biased in recognizing legislators for questions and motions in the first place, and it encourages impertinent questions, just for the sake of being recognized.
- an expression of conviction, or value belief of an assembly, which may urge, request, or suggest further action by another decision-making authority.
- a specific, written proposal (in the form of a "bill" or "resolution") made by a member or committee for assembly to debate.
- standard rule in most leagues (including NFL and NCFL), which requires the presiding officer to choose speakers who have spoken least (or not at all). The only exception to precedence is when a speaker has authorship privileges to legislation when it is introduced for debate. In those cases, the presiding officer must recognize the author first.
- a small group of members who meet and bring recommendations to the full assembly.
Down
- period where the members of the assembly ask individual questions of the speaker. Multiple-part (or two- part) questions are not allowed (unless the rules are suspended for that instance, or specific open/direct questioning rules are used), because they take time from other members who may wish to question the speaker. For all speeches that follow an authorship - except the first negative speech under NFL rules - the speaker may speak for a maximum of three (3) minutes, followed by one minute of questions. All affirmative and negative speeches that follow an authorship speech should introduce new ideas (arguments) and respond to previous arguments (refute or rebut).
- the order of legislation as suggested by a committee or member, and voted on by the assembly (sometimes called the calendar).
- a constructive speech of up to three (3) minutes given by a member, which introduces an item of legislation for debate by the chamber. It is called a sponsorship speech if given by a student who is not affiliated with the school the legislation originated from. All author/sponsorship speeches are followed by a two-minute questioning period. The first negative speech also may have two minutes of questioning.
- Standing,PO tracks how many times speakers stand to be recognized. The problem with this is that speakers may or may not actually have substantive speeches prepared, but simply stand earlier to play the game.
- leader who runs meetings by recognizing members to speak or move. Also called the chair. Modeled after the Speaker of the House of Representatives, or the Vice President or President pro tempore of the Senate.
- type of legislation that describes the details of how a policy would be enacted if voted into law by the assembly.
- the complete packet of legislation distributed by a tournament.
- a specific change to an item of legislation, explaining exactly which words it modifies, and not changing the intent of the legislation itself (germane).
- standard rule in NFL, where the presiding officer not only employs precedence, but also selects speakers based on who has spoken least recently (or earliest).

- The speech that presents arguments and evidence
- the reason that the argument a debater made is important. Without an impact, a judge and opponent could essentially concede the entire point but say it has zero consequence in terms of decision making.
- arguments that respond to your opponent’s case. It is not enough to merely make your own arguments, you must make responsive arguments as a rejoinder or rebuttal to the specific arguments that are raised by the opposing debaters

- One of the three parts of your case
- the last speech of the round is a chance for the debater to crystallize and tell the judge what issues need to be considered most on their ballot. This speech is referred to as the final focus and is two minutes in length. Previously, this speech was called the “last shot” and was only a minute long.
- follows the constructive and is four minutes long. Given by the second speaker on each team, this speech focuses on creating additional offense in the round while at the same time putting up defensive answers to the opponents’ positions. A good rebuttal is typically a mix of both types of arguments. For the speaker that gives the second rebuttal, it has become expected that at some point they include answering arguments made on their case by the first rebuttal.
- the first speech from either side in a debate. In Public Forum, the speech time is four minutes. As an introduction, this is a key speech to define terms and ideas to make the resolution easier to understand while also creating the first pieces of offense that a team can use to claim the judge’s ballot.
Down
- format of debate that consists of two teams of two. The pro team argues in favor of the resolution while the con team argues the opposite. Unlike other formats, the speaking order of the round is decided by the winner of a coin flip. The winning team can choose either their side or speaking position(first or second) while the other team then gets to select the undecided choice.
- given after the crossfire between the second speakers concludes. This speech is now three minutes long while in the past it had only been two. The summary speech is expected to start to condense or collapse the round down to a select few arguments and define what the judges should focus on for the rest of the debate.
- person who determines the outcome of the debate is called the judge. In preliminary rounds of a tournament, rounds are typically decided by one judge while in the elimination rounds most tournaments will include a panel of judges.Prep time
- the topic that has been selected by the NSDA or other competition entity that debaters should focus on in rounds. One side is typically for the resolution (aff or pro) while the other side is the opposite (con or neg).
- the questioning period between the speeches is referred to as a crossfire. In a crossfire, each side is allowed and expected to ask questions of the other. This differs from other events where the questioning period is directional, meaning that one side asks the questions and the other answers. Crossfire offers an opportunity to clarify arguments, ferret out flaws in logic, and capitalize on weaknesses via questioning.
- a critical part to an argument as it establishes why the claim the debater made is true. Arguments that are missing warrants are comparatively worse, as there is no reason that a judge can be told to evaluate the warrantless argument over the other.
- the first part of an argument underneath the Toulmin model. Think of it as the statement that you assert. For instance, we can claim that “Minnesota is a cold state.” Note that there is nothing in there that confirms whether the statement is true or false, meaning the argument is incomplete.

Across
- The exact wording of your topic. Good resolutions are clearly worded to imply a clear Pro and Con stance. For example: “Immigration” is not a resolution. “The USFG should pass the immigration reform bill” is a resolution.
- Aligning your arguments directly to your opponents’ points. Good debates provide a lot of clash. Debates get very hard to judge when they are two teams making points but not attacking the other teams points as well. Make your points clearly, but attack every argument your opponent makes.
- An argument that goes unanswered by your opponent. Dropping an argument will cause you to not be able to address it later. This is bad, very, very bad.
- the lens through which you would like your argument viewed. This is used to help the audience weigh your points. For example, a Con gun control case might use “Constitutionality” (the 2nd Amendment) as their framework and offer it as the highest value in the round. A “Pro” gun control case might use “Safety” as the highest value in the round.
- Using the flow to argue against your opponents’ arguments.
- Giving your audience a heads up when you change arguments. “Now on my opponents first point,” is an example of sign posting. We now know where to write your upcoming response on our flow. It is very important to tell your judge where to write your arguments. If you don’t, they may not write them down at all.
- The speeches where you offer your main points following the basic structure we have used in class. A constructive is written word for word and includes at least one valid quote/source for every point made. A constructive includes an introduction, a “framework” weighing mechanism, your main points, and a conclusion.
- The so-what factor of your claim. Impacts win debates. Explain why every claim is important. Assuming that something is important without proving the impact of it usually loses debates.
- valid quotes and sources that are delivered conversationally. Sometimes referred to as a “card” which refers to the days when debaters cut and pasted their quotes on note cards.
Down
- Speaking time allotted to review arguments and clarify the round. No new arguments are allowed in rebuttals. In Public Forum, rebuttals are called First Speaker Summary and Final Focus.
- The cross examination period where you and your opponent take turns asking questions. This period is one versus one. There are two types of questions: clarification and questions of exploitation to set up your future arguments. Be strategic, but polite.
- The note-taking technique used in debate to track all points and arguments. The flow is separated by speech for organizational purposes. The flow is used to go down each point made to provide an organized clash in debate.
- The cross examination period where all four debaters are allowed to speak.
- A main point or separate argument; a general statement or point you are trying to make.
- Giving your audience a very basic preview of your speech. Typically: “Judge, I will be attacking our opponents’ case, and defending ours with the time remaining.” This tells the audience you are organized.
- Time allotted to each team that does not count as speaking time. This time (3 minutes per team for you) is used to prepare notes for your next speech and discuss strategy with your partner. It can be used before any of your speeches. It is NOT used before an opponent’s speech or before a crossfire period.
