Parliamentary topics are different in every round of debate, so when you are at a tournament a
topic is announced and you are given 15-20 minutes to prepare prior to starting the debate round.
Parliamentary debate is a two-on-two activity (teams of two students competing against one
another).

Lincoln Douglas debate is very similar to one person policy debate with a couple of key differences.
In contrast to both progressive LD and policy debate, traditional LD is much more focused on
speaking style and presentation of moral ideas on a topic.
