IPDA Notes

There will be two divisions, Novice & Varsity.The IPDA rules can be found at:

IPDA is growing in the region, but has limited availability in the Central States. It is our desire to help bring this event to our students to provide: easier integration to competitive debate, a testing ground for concise and effective persuasion in an efficiency-dependent format.

Students will first meet at the same location as extemp draw to pick their topic. There will be five topics, with the negative striking one, then the affirmative, then the Neg, then the Aff, and the last resolution will be debated. Students can then use any form of research with prep time lasting 30 minutes. Here is an example of a pre-round resolution sheet.

Sample IPDA Resolutions

1.RE: Hillary in 2016.

2.RE: Racism killed Michael Brown.

3.RE: America’s global leadership is ending.

4.RE: Now is the time.

5.RE: Technology is a net-positive for society.

Although IPDA is lax on prep materials, no printed evidence should be brought into the debate round. Use of evidence and common knowledge is similar to NPDA usage.

Judges for IPDA can be lay which include coaches, parents, IE students, Comm. students, anybody outside of high school. IPDA prides itself on having a diverse judging pool so that debaters must adapt to extremely varying paradigms.

IPDA time formats are as followed (No prep time in round – Draw 30 minutes before the round starts).

Affirmative Constructive 5 min

Cross Ex 2 min

Negative Constructive 6 min

Cross Ex 2 min

1st Aff Rebuttal 3 min

Neg Rebuttal 5 min

2nd Aff Rebuttal 3 min
