Tilted Debate league.
I've been thinking about this all morning so I figured I might as well type it out before I forget it.
What do you do you guys/gals think about having 2 teams of 3 people debate different topics? One team debates the "for" and the other team debates the "against" No matter what their personal opinions may be.
I've thought of a few possible rules.
The debate will be 12posts total / 6 posts per team or 3 days depending which comes first. The Team leader can make all posts, or each member can speak his mind, I'll leave this decision up to the individual teams to sort that out.
None of the posts should be over 500 words, We don't want someone making every point there is to make on the first post do we?
I was thinking that as the debate ends, a poll could be added to determine the winner but I'm not a big fan of anonymous polls on the internet. So, I think we need 3 people to be judges.They will vote on who made the better arguement, They will need to be as unbias about the topic and judge only on presentation. A poll could also be used
We don't need a dominate team and we need a fresh rotation of new people playing so after a team has won 3 matches, they have to replace 1 member and if they continue to be dominate the team is retired so they cannot be teamed together anymore.
There are alot more rules I'd need to cover but I just want to see if there is enough support for this to make it work before I put more thought into it.
So?
