What is team policy debate?
Debate is an argument to determine if change in the status quo is good or bad. Team Policy involves two teams of two each who debate a specific policy. In a standard round the Affirmative team will show harms in the status quo and present a plan to implement the resolution, thus solving the harm. The Negative team will present arguments to support the status quo, show that the Affirmative plan does not work, or that there are better ways to solve the harms than with the Affirmative plan.
