The 2024 edition of the Asia Junior Championships – Debate (Summer Edition) includes two prepared rounds: Round 2 and the Grand Finals. These rounds will center on important global and regional issues, featuring motions that capture the complexities of contemporary society. 

ROUND 2

Motion: THBT education system should stream children according to their abilities from a young age

Info: Streaming children according to their abilities means grouping them into different classes or levels based on how well they perform in certain subjects, starting from a young age. For example, students who are strong in math might be placed in a more advanced math class, while those who need extra help could be in a different group where they can learn at a pace that suits them better.

GRAND FINALS

Motion: THR the emphasis on miracles in the spread of religion

Info: A miracle is something amazing and unusual that happens, which people often believe is caused by God or a higher power because it doesn't seem possible by normal means.

Prepared rounds are subject to the event; these rounds would be indicated in the event brochure and schedule.

Teams will be categorized into their respective break categories and would debate against teams in the same category. Each out-round follows an elimination basis, wherein the winning team advances to the next round and the losing team will get eliminated from next rounds. Results for each out-round will be announced in the convening hall.

锦标赛将使用 65-85 分的评分标准。

如果某一队的成员在一轮比赛中缺席，则该队的在场成员可以作为“铁人”队参加辩论，但须符合以下条件：

– In judging an iron-person team, the Adjudication Panel shall treat the team as if they were an ordinary team, and fill out the ballot accordingly (indicating that the team was an iron-person team on the ballot).

– The results of a debate in the Preliminary Rounds that includes an iron-person team shall be entered into the tab as follows:

– The team in question shall receive the team points earned during that round

– Both speaker scores shall be awarded to that team

– The speaker who served as the iron person should get the higher of the two speaker points, and the speaker who did not speak for the round should get the lower speaker point allowed by the constitution.

Teams can only attend as an iron-person team once during the preliminary rounds to be eligible to break.Teams cannot attend the out-rounds as an iron-person team.

For Online Debaters

Should they fail to reconnect after 5 minutes, the round proceeds as usual, the disconnected speaker’s speech would be skipped and their teammate would then be required to be an iron-person during the round.

For Online Adjudicators

Adjudicators who have (1) lost connection during the round and/or (2) fail to proceed to their debate rooms after preparation time ends are given only 5 minutes to reconnect. Should they fail to reconnect after 5 minutes, the round proceeds as usual. If the disconnected adjudicator is part of the judging panel, they won’t be able to judge the current round. If the disconnected adjudicator is the chairperson, someone else from the panel will take their place.
