Introduction to the Format:

Bianca: Now, let's familiarize everyone with the Asian Parliamentary debate format for those
who may be new to it.
Rico: In Asian Parliamentary style, each debate features two teams: the Government and the
Opposition.
Bianca: Each team consists of three speakers.
Rico: The debate consists of constructive speeches, rebuttals, and a reply speech.
Bianca: Each speaker has a specific time limit, and our timekeepers will ensure that these
limits are adhered to.
Rico: Points of Information (POIs) are also allowed during the speeches, except for the first
and last minute.
Bianca: And remember, audience participation is strictly limited to applause after each
speech.
Rico: Before we begin, let's share an important detail with you all. The motion for today's
debate was taken impromptu just 30 minutes ago.
Bianca: That's right! Each team has had a brief period of time to prepare their arguments
before facing off in the arena of ideas.
Rico: And to maintain fairness, every finalist has been quarantined for approximately 30
minutes to build their cases without external influence.
