Debate format 2 presentations with discussion

This format is useful for two interlocutors that are not prone to overtalking. There is a possibility that the presentation will be used for making a long list of claims. This is not the intention. All claims should be supported with evidence. If one or both interlocutors intend to make many claims, use Debate format 8-10 topic instead.
