I have been getting into the debate world as a good stage mother. So here are all the debate terms that you never wanted to know and were not afraid to ask:
LD: Lincoln Douglas debate format
AFF: Affirmative
Neg: Negative
Hit: When you go against an opponent. 'I hit him in the Long Beach Tourney"
Spreading: When someone talks very fast to get their facts out from Speed Reading.
Turn: To get an advantage and win a point from your opponent
Speaks: Speaker Points which are awarded during each round and are used to determine winners
Lay Judges or Mommy Judges: Amateur judges that do not understand the rules
Breaking, to Brake: To Advance to the next round
Lucas and Elliot Turned their opponents on the aff and neg rounds and were able to break to Win the whole tournament for SDA!
