Resolved: The United Nations should abolish permanent membership on its Security Council.

2. 规则：

•Debaters can participate from ages 10 to 18 or by permission from Jim Hanson.

•Pro teams of two debaters (1Pro debater and 2Pro debater) defend the topic. Con teams reject the topic. Con teams of two debaters (1Con debater and 2Con debater) reject the topic.

•Con teams cannot run counterplans; they must discuss the topic/the current policies.

• Speaker Duties:

1Case Speeches: Present Case. Do not respond to opponent’s case in this speech except minimally.

2Rebuttal Speeches: Respond to your Opponent’s Case. Do not respond to responses to your case except minimally.

1Summary Speeches: Defend Your Case/Crystalize. Do not respond to your opponent’s case except minimally.

2FinalFocus Speeches: Address Key Arguments and Weigh.

WE DO NOT WANT PF DEBATERS SPREADING TO HIT BOTH CASES IN THEIR SPEECHES—DO NOT DO THAT. ONLY THE FINAL FOCUS DIRECTLY ADDRESSES BOTH CASES IN THEIR SPEECH.

•Debaters use prepared materials in their debates. Debaters may/should use printed materials and/or laptops during the debate.

•You may also access the internet including during the debate (but you CANNOT communicate with any person including a coach or parent unless it is an emergency).

•No POIs, No heckling. No Coin tosses.

•Debaters may speak to teammates who are speaking BRIEFLY AND RARELY and can pass notes or text messages/chat. Remember, interrupting your debate partner can hurt their debating—do it at most once or twice during an entire speech and only in urgent situations.

•Use your own flow paper.

•Coaching help prior to the debate is fine but the debate starts on time. No coaching during the debate.
