A new Presiding Officer will be elected at the beginning of every round. Presiding Officers must use precedence and recency methods. Recency will reset and legislation debated must be voted on at the conclusion of each round. Question period: Each authorship, sponsorship, or first affirmative as well as the first negative speech on each new legislation will be given a 2 minute questioning period. All other speakers will be given a 1minute questioning period following a speech. The PO should rule two-part, misleading or prefaced questions out of order. Semifinal and Final rounds will follow direct cross examination. Agenda: Competitors will set and vote on an agenda before round one. All authorship speeches ought to be given priority. After all authorships from the chamber have been exhausted, the chamber will debate ALL legislation from the next lettered chamber (ie. A, upon completion of its authorships, will debate legislation from B, and then legislation from C. Upon completion of legislation from M, students may proceed to debate legislation from A). After all authorships from the chamber have been exhausted, a teammate of the author may claim sponsorship privilege. Agendas may be amended by a 2/3 vote of the chamber. Technology: Technology will be allowed in chambers during round, but use of Internet at any time during the round is prohibited.
