First Debate to Begin February 13th

Debate Format

How it works I will post a video on Friday at that point the Debaters will each be able to make up to a 2 minute opening statement stating your case. That will be posted this as a Video Response to the orignal Video.

Debaters will then get an opportunity to rebutt each other arguments. For approximately 2 weeks. At that point each debater will make a closing statement.

Videos can be done anyway the indivudla debater likes. If theywant to sing - Rap - animate or use whatever props they can.

The only requirement is that it remains family friendly and remain topic of teh debate

The winner will be determined by a point system based on 3 criteria balanced equally.

1st Criteria is an average of all the ratings for the videos you post in the debate.
So this will be a max of 5 points
2nd Votes on the supporting this 1 point for every 20% of support.
3rd is a rating of 1 - 5 by the impartial judge (myself)

So there will be a maximum of 15 points allotted.

About Us

This blog is in support of the You Tube site Meaningless Debates. We take rather meaningless issues and have You Tubers debate the pros and cons in a civilized manner in a traditional debate format and style. We give the audience the chance to participate by voting on the side of the issue they are most persuaded towards and posting thier own interjections via video comment.
