In a formal debate, the side that speaks first is typically the affirmative side. This side presents its case and arguments first, outlining the reasons for supporting the resolution. The negative side then follows, responding to the affirmative's arguments and presenting its own case against the resolution. This structure helps establish a clear framework for the debate.

Formal debate has to many rules for me to go over right now. But basically you have two teams, one presents a plan and the other tries to show it as a bad idea. This is the main concept of informal debates, but formal debates take it a step further.
