Oxford Oregon Debate

Answer 1

What is commonly used today in scholastic debates is modified Oregon-Oxford. It is called Modified Oregon-Oxford because the new Or-Ox has special changes to the traditional or original format. In the original format, there can be two or three speakers on each side. In the modified Or-Ox format, there are already 4 speakers on each side, the 4th one being the rebuttal speaker. What really sets off this type of debate from parliamentary type of debate is the interpellation or cross examination at the end of each constructive speech. Unlike the parly format, the debaters are not to be interrupted while delivering the constructive speech. The opponent can cross examine the other side after each constructive speech. So the 1st affirmative speaker will be interpellated by the 1st negative and vice versa. The second affirmative will be cross-examined by the 2nd negative and vice versa. The same holds true to the 3rd speakers. The 4th speakers from both sides will no longer have interpellation. They will each give the final word of the team, rebutting or destroying the contentions of the other side. http://www.everdaywear.blogspot.com

Answer 2

it's a very different style from any other debating styles.

3 speakers per side,

with the first being the Feasibility/Practicality speaker,

the second being the Necessity speaker,

and the third being the Beneficiality speaker.

Basically, each speaker can only speak on what their role demands, nothing more.

it seems like it belongs more in a courtroom, as there are periods for cross-examination by the opposition. anyways, here's a useful link.
