Two teams reprent the Proposition: the Opening Proposition and the Closing Proposition. Two teams reprent the Opposition： the Opening Opposition and the Closing Opposition. Each of the teams competes against all other teams in the round and will be ranked 1st through 4th at the conclusion of the debate。
Opening Proposition | Opening Opposition |
Closing Proposition | Closing Opposition |

Each speech will be 7 minutes. Points of Information are allowed after the first minute and before thelast minute of all speeches。
Timing of the speech begins when the speaker begins speaking; all material—including acknowledgements,introductions, etc.—will be timed。 A time keeper will provide a ries of signals during each speech as follows:
Timing | Signal guardianship |

7：00 | Double ring of a bell （Conclusion of speaking time) |
7:15 | Continuous ringing (Conclusion of grace period） |

Once the double ring has sounded, speakers have a 15-cond ‘grace period'， during which they should conclude their remarks. The grace period is not a time for new matter to be introduced， and any new matter offered in the grace period may be discounted by the adjudicators. Speakers continuing after this ‘grace period’ may be penalized by the adjudication panel.
4。Speaker Roles
Each speaker has a role and each speech has a specific purpo。 The descriptions of speaker roles listed below are suggestive and are not intended to be exhaustive or exclusive. For reasons that vary from debate to debate， speakers may sometimes need to fulfill roles not mentioned here and speeches may be constructed to rve other purpos as long as Proposition speakers affirm the motion and Opposition speakers oppo it.
