- W129894865 abstract "Many of the American Debate Association (ADA) rules merely codify conventions are almost universally practiced in tournaments. Among them are such standards as who is eligible debate and judge, what shall be debated and fnr how long, and restrictions on ballot submissions. Other rules come under the general'heading of which speech rules that codify conventions for specific kinds of arguments. Ttere are two content-based rules, designating topicality as voting the other restricting counterargument non-topical counterplan. Three rules distinguish tournaments from other debates. One requires the random assignment of judges debate rounds. A second rule bars judges from revealing decisions until preliminary rounds conclude. To emphasize the oral nature of debate, third rule limits judges' ability read materials upon arguments are based. PolJcy debate has decreased drastically in recent years. debate has been successful because of its consensus on rules. In reviewing its rulemaking, the accept Learned Hand's argument for judicial review in constitutiona2 system: that it is proper engraft upon the text such provisions as are necessary prevent the failure of the undertaking.

Its purpose, in the words of of its founders, Warren Decker, was to foster the growth of /reasonable' policy debate. Decline seemed characterize participation rates at most policy debate tournaments during the 19801s. ... reasons most often cited related excesses in certain types of behaviors exhibited by debaters and judges...The then set about re-establish control over the activity...with the goal of diminishing the excesses. A decision was made concentrate upon behaviors could be uniformly curtailed preserve fairness. Eventually, set of rules were adopted were designed curb those excesses.'

Some of the ADA's founders have been kind enough read that paper and provide some comments on it. purpose today is review my analysis of the rules summary is attached this paper -and share with you their reaction it as well as my own conclusion about the role of rules in policy debate. My Many of the rules merely codify conventions are almost universally practiced in our tournaments. These include those determining who shall be eligible debate and judge; what shall be debated and for how long; the form in decision shall be rendered; criteria for determining who shall debate whom; qualification for elimination rounds and awards. They also govern such subsidiary issues as the definition of eligibility for separate division of competition; establishment of tournament schedules, the length, order and number of speeches and other events within each round; provision for forfeiture by any team not ready proceed; common ballot and requirement for its timely submission. A number of other provisions come under the general heading of which speech rules. For ne most part they also codify existing conventions -e.g., case in the first affirmative, in the first negative, now new arguments in rebuttal. Still others can be grouped as mandating decorum and courtesy. Debaters should speak comprehensibly and intelligibly and debaters and judges alike refrain from the use of profanity. Prompting, cross-talk and in-round coaching is prohibited. Only the person speaking, asking question in cross-ex, or answering question in cross-ex be talking. debaters may not receive, assistance, suggestions, or coaching from anyone while the round is in progress. There are two content based rules. One provides that topicality is a voting issue, but does not designate any criteria be applied in determining the issue. Another restricts the negative one counterplan and requires that it be non-topical. Rules adopt the American Forensic Association Code of Standards with respect the full citation of evidence and require that the information be given orally...the first time the evidence is presented. All of these rules, it seems me -with the possible exception of the mandate that counterplans be non-topical -could be adopted by any policy debate tournament without any significant change in its practices or its outcome. There are, however, three rules do make difference between those tournaments are and are not administered under standards. first requires that [j]udges will be assigned debate rounds by using 'random' method of judge placement. Another provides that [j]udges Should not reveal decision debaters or other coaches until the end of the prelims. The third, and perhaps the most controversial provides" @default.
