Public Forum Debate
Public Forum features two teams debating over a single resolution, changed on a monthly basis. A singular team includes two members, a first and second speaker. These two teams engage constructive speeches, rebuttals, summaries, and final focuses for the side they are debating for (Affirmative or Negative). Within the speeches from both sides, there is a crossfire, known popularly as cross examination. In this time, teams question one another, as well as their sources.
