1) v Each candidate will have the chance to have 1 minute of protected talking time. During this time, they will have a minute without interruption to speak. 2) Once each topic is announced, the first candidate to buzz/tap in will get the opportunity to speak on the topic. 3) Once all of the topics have been covered, the audience will vote and decide who has won the debate. shoutoutuk. org shoutoutuk_offical Shoutout_UK
