Hi folks, round 2 of live practice debating is here!

This time, I'm wanting to do a minimal approach where both sides come to the table with only a constructive, and no other prep! This will force us to think of rebuttals on our feet, which I'm horrible at. 

I'm thinking of doing a simple Public Forum 2 team style debate as follows:

Team A Speaker 1: Constructive (4 mins)
Team B Speaker 1: Constructive (4 mins)
Crossfire between both first speakers (2 mins)
Team A Speaker 2: Rebuttal (4 mins)
Team B Speaker 2: Rebuttal (4 mins)
Crossfire between both second speakers (2 mins)
Team A Speaker 1: Summary (3 mins)
Team B Speaker 1: Summary (3 mins)
Grand crossfire between all speakers (3 mins)
Team A Speaker 2: Final Focus (2 mins)
Team B Speaker 2: Final Focus (2 mins)

I'm open to all topic suggestions. If you want to participate let me know, we need at least 4 people.

Virtuoso/David says he plans on starting a live debate tournament on the site. I think that's a great idea, but I'm very rusty in live debate (as I assume other people are too). 

Is anyone down to do some live debate practice at some point? Wouldn't be super competitive obviously, as of course we'd be doing it just to brush up on our skills a bit.
