Mrs. Hagar's 3 rules for debate. If you can remember :) 2 out of 3 I will give the points
1. Never underestimate your opponent
2. Always be 10 steps ahead of your opponent
3. Maintain confidence in what you say, speech, and approach
The newer way to Debate...two on two style. Less common but is becoming more used in Debate competitions. Crossfire is used instead of cross examination and many other terms are different/changed.
