# of people in the debate: 6
# of people in a team: 3
# of teams in the debate: 2
Duration of the speeches: Constructive and whip speeches 7 minutes, replies 4 minutes
Questions format: Points of information
This debate format is mainly used in the Asia (news Sherlock :D) and is also the basics of the World schools debate format.
The speakers speak in the following order:
Prime minister
Leader of opposition
Deputy prime minister
Deputy leader of opposition
Government whip
Opposition whip
All these speeches are seven minutes long. Prime minister presents the case, Leader of opp presents its own arguments and rebuttals the gov's, Deputy PM has also his own argument(s) and makes some rebuttal, of course he/she should not forget that she has to speak about the arguments of the PM and reafirm them. Deputy leader of opp has the same task, meaning new argument(s), rebuttal, own previous arguments. The government whip is allowed to present "new matter" but is advised not to, and the opp whip is not allowed to do that.
Now follow two reply speeches, first the oppositional and then the governmental reply. The speeches are given by the first or the second speaker from each side. The speeches should focus on the great ideas, arguments, clashes in the debate and present them.
