If there is a tie between competitors based upon record after three weeks, and they have not debated each other before, we will have a week for finals between those debaters. If they have debated each other before the tie will be settled by head-to-head competition

Timeline for Video Submissions:Speeches are to be posted by 11:59pm PST of the date noted in the schedule. After that time competitors will be subject to having their round forfeited at the discretion of the tournament administrators. A small amount of grace time will be allowed under certain circumstances.We encourage everyone to try and submit their speeches well before the deadline to avoid technical errors.Each competitor will engage in one proposition and one opposition round per week they are competing.Anyone forfeiting their first proposition speech in the first week of the tournament will be dropped from competition and the schedule will be repaired in order to minimize drops.

Time Limits:
Proposition speaker's opening speech: 4 minutes
Opposition speaker's opening speech: 5 minutes
Proposition speaker's rebuttal: 3 minutes
Opposition speaker's rebuttal and closing remarks: 4 minutes
Proposition speaker's rebuttal and closing remarks: 2 minutes

Please note: Debaters whose entire video entries are longer than the maximum length for any given speech should be considered an instance of abuse that can be a valid subject for debate. Discretion will be left up to the judge to decide. However, we strongly encourage debaters to abide by the time limits. Videos more than 30 seconds over the time limit should be considered a grave violation

Style of Debate:Debaters can use any style they feel will best serve their ability to win. Judges come from a variety of styles as do competitors. Debaters should realize that an online format is different from in-person debating in many ways. Debaters should attempt to persuade their judges of their position. Debaters are encouraged to consult and quote research on the topic by supporting their arguments with relevant and credible evidence.When uploading videos debates should provide links and/or citations for any evidence they cite for both the judge and competitor to make use of.Evidence, however, is not a required component to win a debate. The goal of a successful debater should be to construct a well-reasoned and well supported argument that is responsive to their opponent.

Judge Evaluation:In addition to giving a competitive win/loss record, participants will also be evaluated on the effectiveness of their speaking skills. Participants are to be ranked on a 1-6 scale in five different categories (6 is the maximum ranking for excellent performance and 1 is the lowest ranking). As judges assign points the system will inform judges the reflection of "average," "above average," "excellent," and so on. Rankings will be considered along with competitive records to determine the debaters who will advance to qualifying and final rounds.The five categories are: Delivery Skills, Use of Evidence, Responsiveness to Opponent, Coherence of Arguments, and Identification of Key Points.The better speaker may not necessarily be the one who wins the round. Judges are encouraged to submit a philosophy when they register to participate in the tournament.

Required Equipment to Compete:Participants will need to be able to access the World Wide Web, record and watch streaming Internet video footage and communicate via e-mail. All judges and debaters will need (1) A personal computer with a broadband Internet connection, capable of running a web browser and accessing YouTube. (2) A means of recording videos of at least 5 minutes in length. This can be achieved with a webcam and microphone on a laptop computer, an external camera and laptop, or iPhones, Android Phones, or Blackberry devices with the YouTube app installed. (3) An account on YouTube.com.

Please note: We strongly recommend that you ensure the functionality of your computer and Internet connection prior to the tournament. We also recommend that you access YouTube.com and ensure that you can successfully upload and view videos before the start of the tournament.
