Parliamentary (Parli) Debate

Parliamentary (Parli) Debate

We will have 6 prelim rounds, semi-finals with a final round.  We will have power matching starting round 2.  All prelim rounds will be decision in room, semi-finals and finals will not have decision in room.  

Parli Prep Room will be in the Worship Center. Topics will be announced at the beginning of the round time. The announcement will not be delayed if both members of a team are not present. The member that is present will make all "strike" decisions. If no member from a team is present, the opposing team for that round will have sole discretion to choose the Resolution.

Strikes

For each round, 3 resolutions will be presented by the Parli Proctor.
1. The Opposition Team will go first to strike one of the resolutions.
2. The Government Team will go next to strike one of the resolutions.
3. The remaining resolution will be debated during the round. It is the responsibility of the Government team to inform the proctor which resolution will be debated.

Statement of Purpose:

The purpose of Parliamentary debate is to instill in Christian home school students the skills of presentation, critical thinking, reasoning, and analysis of various issues. That endeavor is accomplished in an environment of honorable competition that cultivates maturity, wisdom, grace, poise, and brings glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Timing: Please be prepared to self time debates.
