What is the basic set up of a debate team?
Each team (that is each unit that participates in a debate round) consists of two members, a first speaker and a second speaker. The first speaker presents the topics to be debated on and supports the rebuttals presented by the second speaker. The second speaker organizes the rebuttals and closes the speeches. Each speaker is vital to the success of the team and every debater should, and will learn to, be good in both areas.
