What Parli Is and How a Round Runs
Parliamentary Debate (Parli) drops a surprise motion on you and gives you twenty minutes to build a full case with no outside research. This unit lays out the two teams, the speech order, and the timing so you know exactly what happens from gavel to ballot.
Claim, Warrant, Impact Without Cards
Now that you know how a round runs, this unit gets inside the atomic unit of a Parli argument. Since there's no evidence card to lean on, your warrant — the reasoning that connects claim to impact — has to do all the work.
Tournament Readiness
