  2. In Preparation Time Things to consider/do: - The arguments your opening team will most probably say. • Opposition opening team arguments/rebuttal. • What gaps your opening team are likely to leave i.e. perhaps “how the policy will work” • Write down a list of arguments on one piece of paper.

  3. THW Legalise Prostitution Arguments likely to be said by OO: • Prostitution is immoral • It is dangerous for the woman. • It is very difficult to regulate. • Objectification of women. Don’t spend too long talking about these arguments in preparation time.

  4. Fill in the important gaps Arguments unlikely to have come from OO • Women can never freely choose to become a prostitute. • Prostitutes are unable to escape from this life once they enter it. • Women are very rarely able to make an informed decision about the benefits/harms of turning to prostitution.

  7. Summarising the debate Duties: • Identifying the “clash points” aka the voting issues. • Differentiate your team from those on your bench and the opposition. • Show why your team won the debate.

  8. Clash Points • Identify two/three “clash points” i.e. what the main contentious issues were in the debate. • Use these to structure your speech. • Put everything, important, that was said under these headings. • Prioritise the clash points containing your extension.

  9. Differentiate your team from those on your bench and the opposition. • Make sure you summarise the top-half debate BUT include your input (often rebuttal). • Mention what your Opening team brought but that your partner’s material was more important. • Don’t bring in new material. • Provide new analysis/examples for existing material.
