Senior debaters, years 10-12/13, cannot debate but are welcome to assist as judges.

The competition is structured in such a way that preliminaries take place on a regional level, leading to a national final. The regions determine their best teams and then these teams move on to a national event, in a proportional manner according to the number of teams which participated.
