This is a very broad question. The answer all depends on what type of debate you are doing. In general the rules are be respectful and do not totally dominate the time. Provide efficient answers without dragging out the answer so that your opponent has enough time to ask all of his or her questions. Also, as a general tip, never give away what you want to attack on. The cross- examination is very important in clarifying points but one little slip of what you plan to attack on their case and they can eat you alive (also, they then get a little more time to prepare a rebuttal). Good luck!!!

The House Rules Committee places the bill on a calendar for floor debate in the House or the Senate.
It is the United States House Committee on Rules that governs floor debate. It is often referred to simply as the Rules Committee.
The Rules Committee in the House of Representatives decides which bills move to the floor for debate and sets the terms for that debate. This committee establishes the rules that govern how long the debate will last and whether amendments can be made. By controlling the flow of legislation, the Rules Committee plays a crucial role in shaping the legislative agenda.
The house rules committee drafts rules ( open, closed, or special), for the house debate.

There were seven debates between Lincoln and Douglas. The rules for each debate would be the same. One man would speak for an hour. His opponent would speak for an hour and a half. Then the first man would speak for half an hour and the debate would end. Douglas spoke first at the first debate.
