IDEA Four-Team Parliamentary Debate Rules IDEA议会制四队辩论赛规则

The rules of IDEA Four-Team Parliamentary Debate are intended to closely follow those of the Worlds Universities Debating Championships (WUDC). They differ in some places to provide tournament directors options of deviating from the WUDC rules when they need to do so.

IDEA议会制四队辩论赛谨遵循世界大专辩论赛（WUDC）的规则。两者略有不同之处，以便比赛主办方根据需要灵活操作。

The Teams and Motions

The teams supporting the motion in the IDEA Four-Team Parliamentary Debate are referred to as the "Proposition." The teams arguing against the motion are known as the "Opposition" teams.

A “motion” is the statement around which the debate takes place. The motion divides the ground in the debate between the Proposition and Opposition teams and should allow for reasonable arguments both for and against.

Ordinarily, motions are announced shortly before each debate begins. A different motion will be used for each debate and will be presented to the debaters at a specified time, usually fifteen to thirty minutes prior to the debate. In some situations general topic areas (for example “environment” or “international relations”) or even specific motions themselves may be announced prior to the tournament.

参赛队伍及辩题

在IDEA议会制四队辩论赛中，支持辩题的队伍为“正方”，反对辩题的队伍为“反方”。

“辩题”，即辩论所围绕展开的议题。辩题将辩手分为正反两方，且双方均有合理辩论的余地。

通常，辩题于各轮比赛开始前十五或三十分钟公布；每轮辩题均不相同。有时，辩题范围（如“环境问题”，“国际关系”等）甚至辩题本身也会在大赛开始前公布。

The motion will be announced to all debaters simultaneously in a central location. Preparation time will be between fifteen and thirty minutes, at the discretion of the tournament director. In general, debaters may confer with their debate partner during preparation time. In some cases, a Tournament Director may allow debaters to confer with their coach or tutor. During this time the debaters may consult any written materials. The rules of the World Universities Debating Championships permit debaters to access any written material during the debate; other tournaments permit the debaters to access only the notes they made in preparation time. Electronic retrieval devices typically are not allowed during preparation, though electronic dictionaries typically are permitted for second-language speakers.

辩题将在一个中央地点向所有辩手公布。准备时间为十五至三十分钟，由大赛主办方规定。通常，辩手在准备时间内可以和自己的搭档讨论。某些情况下，主办方也允许辩手和教练或带队老师讨论。此间，辩手可以参阅任何纸质资料。世界大专辩论赛允许辩手在辩论过程中使用任何纸质材料；而其他比赛仅允许辩手在准备时间内使用事前准备好的资料。准备期间，通常可以使用电子词典，但禁止使用其它一切电子设备。

The Debate Format

Four teams participate in each debate: two on the Proposition and two on the Opposition. Each team works independently to either support or oppose the motion. Each team is made up of two speakers; each speaker will present a speech not to exceed 7 minutes in the order prescribed below.

辩论模式
