Behavior Expectations During Debate
• Only the elected speaker may address the question or opposing team. Any comments made by “the gallery” will cause the team to lose points.
• The speaker may only address the question and may not attack, personally, the opposing team.
• Derogatory comments made from either the gallery or speaker will count as negative points, and will also result in a referral for specific students.
• Professional tone and vocabulary is required.• Any divergence from the topic, personal anecdotes or other
off-topic behavior/commentary will result in lost points.
