World Schools alternates Proposition and Opposition through three substantive speeches each, then flips the order for the two reply speeches. RoundFlow lays out all eight columns in the correct order — reply speeches included — so you're not double-checking the format mid-round.
This is the exact column layout RoundFlow builds the moment you pick World Schools — including the reversed reply order, exactly as WSDC runs it.
No formal prep time — WSDC convention. Notice the reply speeches run Opposition first, the reverse of every other speech in the round.
The first Proposition and Opposition speakers set up the case and the main clash points for the whole round. Flow them as complete columns — the 2nd and 3rd speeches, and both replies, will keep referring back to what's here.
WSDC allows some new material in the 2nd speeches alongside direct rebuttal, unlike formats that cut off new arguments earlier. Keep new points and direct responses visually distinct on the card so you don't conflate the two later.
By the 3rd speaker, the expectation is summary and weighing, not new arguments. Flag anything that looks genuinely new so you — or your teammate during POIs — can call it out in the moment.
Opposition delivers their reply before Proposition — the only point in the round where Opposition goes first. Set your columns up for this ahead of time so you're not flowing the wrong side's reply into the wrong column.
A POI happens mid-speech and can redirect an argument immediately. Note it right next to the point it interrupted — using a sub-point or a linked card — rather than as a disconnected list at the bottom of the column.
RoundFlow's shared debate-term tags cover general clash — these are specific to how WSDC runs.
A brief interjection offered during an opponent's speech (typically minutes 1–7 of an 8-minute speech), which the speaker can accept or wave off.
World Schools's two sides — Proposition affirms the motion, Opposition argues against it.
A shorter, judge-style closing speech summarizing why your side won the round — delivered by the 1st or 2nd speaker, not the 3rd.
The direct points of disagreement between both sides' cases — what a good flow should make easy to trace across every speech.
A comparative claim about which side's case matters more under the motion, central to both 3rd speeches and the replies.
WSDC's term for the resolution — the statement both sides are debating for that round.
