The best freakin kind of debate! You get a partner to back up your butt when you screw up. Much better than the aforementioned wimpy LD debate because you actually have to work to do it. Our motto: Save a forest, kill a debater. Sure we waste paper, but we have fun doing it!

An evil mile deep hole which you will never climb out of. Insulting the side you're debating against is a regular thing that occurs on a minutely basis. People in policy often develop a cult-like structure within their group that consists of a "mother hen" and their "chicks". The mother hen will teach the chicks all they know before possibly passing on the role to a chick, who then becomes the new mother hen. They also have so many technical terms, even people in the event don't always know what they mean. If you are entering policy, you will sink into this dark hole that you will never come out. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
"Hey, did you see that policy debate?"
"Yeah man, but I didn't even know what was going on. By the way, what's a Kritik?

Absolute waste of life. Manfiestation of all that is the ivory-tower intellectual. It may be named policy debate, but the argumentation contributes nothing to any policy in the real world.

A type of debate that you love to hate. You will complain about it because it is a longer, more prepped, and harder. The only good that comes from this debate is that little high you get when you win a round, just to figure out the judge didn't let you win because the other team were wearing matching cloths.

A form of debate where the debaters talk fast to the point where they can't be understood. If you want a real type of debate check out Lincoln Douglas debate more often known as LD debate
