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.
