ASAP Debate Video 7: Crossfire

In this, the seventh video in our ASAP introductory debate series, we look at a Public Forum debate's most unique feature: Crossfire. During the three, 3-minute Crossfires in a debate round, speakers get to ask and answer questions back and forth. Learning to come up with strong questions and respond well to your opponents' questions demands an incredibly broad array of skills - quick thinking, adapting on the fly, strong preparation, concise & snappy phrasing, pointed questioning, communication with your partner, unfailing politeness, unflappable self-confidence, and so many more.
As a result, this video is much longer than previous ones in the series. You may want to watch it in sections, using the following timestamps:
Part 1: Crossfire Format starts at 4:24
Part 2: Crossfire Etiquette starts at 8:45
Part 3: Crossfire Goals starts at 11:26
Part 4: Questioning Tactics starts at 15:05
Part 5: Answering CF Questions starts at 19:04
Part 6: Key CF Phrases starts at 25:46
Part 7: Questioning Game (for practicing CF skills with a friend) starts at 36:41
I want to thank ASAP and Philadelphia DHS once again for making this video series possible. Happy debating!
