Policy Debate

A widespread type of debate in high school; one of three debate styles used by the NFL. Two teams of two students debate a resolution which is announced in the summer, and lasts for a year. Any educational value of the debate is immediately lost when when impossible impact scenarios become the basis of one teams case. While some teams make the effort to make the debate educational and realistic, the vast majority of debates spiral into a battle to prove which plan is most likely to result in nuclear holocaust. Also known as:Mental Masturbation.
Debate Coach: "I just judged a policy debate."
Debater: "Yeah? What happened?"
Debate Coach: "Well, in the 1st Neg constructive they claimed that the aff's plan would result in Nuclear Holocaust and diseases brought by Aliens. I lost focus and began doodling on the ballot. I hate judging policy debate."

Policy debate

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!
POLICY DEBATE WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paperless Debate

CX debate, or policy debate that has transferred to laptops instead of tubfulls of paper. while it might be convenient, it totally undermines the originality and spirit of cx debate because as of now, most teams haven't totally gone paperless, which makes viewing evidence hard if you don't have a laptop and they can't flash evidence to you
I wish cx isn't transferring to paperless debate. Tubs all the way
