This debate format derives directly from the US Presidential debates. It is a bit different, especially from the timing of the speeches. I have no information if it is being used for tournaments anywhere in the world, but it is used for training.
Format:

Cross examination - negative asks affirmative - 3 minutes
1st Negative constructive - 8 minutes
Cross examination - affirmative asks negative - 3 minutes
