That’s American debating. American debating is weird.
Care to clarify the difference? Oxford-style debate isn’t any better in this regard. Is there some other form of debate that is?
By Oxford-style do you mean British parliamentary (BP). In BP a) people speak at a rate that can actually be understood b) debating is about arguments having an impact, not just maximising the number of arguments.
