Parliamentary debate hands you a topic minutes before the round starts — there's no pre-written case to fall back on, so your flow has to keep up in real time. RoundFlow lays out all six columns (PMC through PMR) so you're only tracking arguments, not building structure on the fly.
This is the exact column layout RoundFlow builds the moment you pick Parli — nothing to configure by hand.
Prep time: 20:00, shared for the whole round (used before the PMC, since the topic is announced on the spot) — RoundFlow's timer tracks it separately from speech time.
The topic is announced right before the round, so the PMC is the first time anyone's heard the case. Get contentions down as short cards rather than trying to capture full sentences — you can fill in detail during cross-ex.
The LOC is the Opposition's only constructive speech, so case answers and off-case positions usually arrive together. Split them into separate cards so the MG has a clear target for each one instead of one long tangled response.
By the MG and MO, most of what's said should build on the PMC/LOC rather than introduce fresh arguments. Use Respond → to keep each speech's cards linked to what they're extending or answering.
The LOR is the Opposition's last speech and typically narrows down to their one or two strongest arguments. Flag which arguments the Opposition is actually going for, since that's what the PMR has to beat.
The PMR can extend and weigh but can't introduce new arguments. Point it directly at the cards the LOR chose to collapse to, rather than re-litigating the whole round.
RoundFlow's shared debate-term tags (Theory, Kritik, Counterplan, Disad) cover the arguments Parli borrows from Policy — these are the ones specific to Parli's format.
A procedural objection raised mid-speech about a rule violation, like new arguments in a rebuttal speech.
A brief question offered to the opposing speaker during their speech, which they can accept or decline.
Parli's two sides — Government defends the resolution or their own case, Opposition argues against it.
Government's interpretation of the resolution, and Opposition's alternative framing when they choose to offer one.
Carrying an argument forward from an earlier speech — the backbone of the MG/MO/LOR/PMR sequence.
A framing claim about which side's impacts or standards matter more, usually decided in the LOR and PMR.
