the Negative(N). 
A round of team policy debate consists of 12 speeches.

teams are perceived as laying out their most important arguments during the start of the debate. 
The next 8 speeches (4 member per team) are called Rebuttals (R), because the teams are
expected to extend and apply arguments that have already been made, rather than make new
arguments. 
The last 2 speeches (1 member per team) are called Concluding Speech (Cc), wherein both
teams would all lay down their arguments because the teams are perceived as laying out all their
most important arguments during these speeches.
