The debate tournament will adopt the British Parliamentary Debate Format, featuring two-person teams competing against 3 other teams in a full debate room. Participants shall receive the debate topics on the spot, and have 15 minutes of preparation prior to the commencement of the debate round. Participants will compete for 7 preliminary rounds, after which the top ranked teams will proceed to the quarterfinals, semifinals, and grand finals respectively.
