Hello everyone, and welcome to the debate on the romance section of Nairaland entitled A MAN SHOULD ASSERT HIS AUTHORITY/SUPERIORITY IN A RELATIONSHIP. The debate will be contested by selected members who indicated their willingness and interest in this debate. They will seek to convince us with their well researched points. . .
~<< Date & Time: Friday October 12 2012, 4:00PM >>~
The debaters would be judged individually by Content, presentation style/ delivery, grammatical correctness, sentence construction, clarity, fluency, sound reasoning and the ability to carry the audience along.
There will be 3 rounds of debating.
The debaters would post their arguments in round one.
After that, the judges would award points to each of the individual debaters and then, the debaters with the lowest of points from each side will be eliminated.
The successful debaters into the next round would be paired up.
After round one, they would only reply to whoever it is they were paired up with. For instance, if sexkillz was paired up with Jaybee, for the second round, jaybee would post a reply/counter argument to what sexkillz had written in round one and sexkillz would post a reply/counter argument to what jaybee had written as well in round one. . .
Debaters are entitled to 2 posts each addressing the issue in round two. The 3rd and subsequent posts will not count!
Debaters are entitled to 3 posts each in Round 3.
Individual points will be collated and then, the side with the highest scores win.
The debaters with the highest individual score wins the individual category.
It promises to be fun and educative if we pay attention to the rules.

Reply only to the opposing member you were paired with to maintain orderliness.
