Although the two proposition and the two opposition teams must agree with each other in the debate, they do not confer before or during the round. Points of information are allowed after the first and before the last minute. The judge or timekeeper rings a bell after the first and sixth minute. The bell is rung twice after seven minutes. There are no points of order or personal privilege.
Points of information are very important.
You should offer points of information as often as you can, during all four speeches on the other side. Judges will penalise debaters who offer no information during the round. During your speech, it is important to take two or three points from the other side. You should not take more than four points, even though your opponents will try their best to offer more. Teamwork is also very important.
