there are 4 people in a debating teamMore specifically two on each team; two on an affirmative and two on a negative; if you debate in policy debate. If you are debating in a Lincoln-Douglas Debate then there is only one person on the affirmative and one person on the negative.
Disadvantages of debate is when there is a negative consequence will come from an affirmative action. It is one of the most simple concepts of a debate.
I believe they're the affirmative position and the negative position.
In a two-sided debate, the layout typically consists of an introduction stating the topic, followed by alternating arguments from each side. Each side presents its position clearly, supports it with evidence or examples, and then rebuts the points made by the opposition. It is important to conclude the debate with a summary of the key points made by each side.
In a debate, the negative team is responsible for opposing the resolution or proposition put forth by the affirmative team. Their role involves challenging the arguments made by the affirmative, presenting counterarguments, and demonstrating why the resolution should not be accepted. The negative team aims to refute the affirmative's claims and provide evidence or reasoning that highlights the flaws or weaknesses in their position. Ultimately, their goal is to convince the judge or audience that the affirmative's case is unconvincing.

the affirmative or aff constructive is a speech that builds your case in the direction that you want to take it, negative or neg constructive is why the aff case wouldn't work in the round of debate.
In a debate, the affirmative side supports the proposition or claim being discussed, advocating for its acceptance and providing evidence to back it up. Conversely, the negative side opposes the proposition, arguing against it and presenting counter-evidence to refute the affirmative's claims. Each side aims to persuade the audience or judges of their position's validity through logical reasoning and effective argumentation. The choice of side often influences the strategies and tactics employed during the debate.
The team that favors the resolution is the affirmative team.
