What is Flow in debate?

debate term

The structured notes debaters take during a round. Also the verb for taking them.

Debaters track a round on a flow: a column for each speech and arguments in rows, so responses line up horizontally. If it is not on the flow, it did not happen. Flowing is the most trainable skill in debate, so use our digital flow pad or the flowing drills to build speed.
