>In the questioning period, the questioner may ask any fair, clear question that has a direct bearing on the debate. The questioner may use the period to build up any part of his own case, to tear down any part of his opposition's case, or to ascertain facts, such as the opposition's position on a certain issue, that can be used later in the debate. The questioner must confine himself to questions and not make statements, comments, or ask rhetorical questions.

>Each speaker is questioned as soon as he concludes his constructive speech. The witness must answer the questions without consulting his colleagues.

>No new constructive arguments may be introduced in the rebuttal period. The affirmative must, if possible, reply to the major negative arguments before the last rebuttal.

>The judge must base his decision entirely on the material presented, without regard for other material which he may happen to possess

I think I will give a couple of weeks after announcing the topic and participants to prepare for the debate. 

If you would like to debate, participate send a reply here to let me know if there is interest and I will continue the /vrg/ debate team idea. I will leave an open ended strawpoll with typical debate topics but if you have any ideas please reply here. Although obvious, reminder that it's not about what your personal beliefs are, more about if you're able to provide convincing and compelling evidence against the other side.
