Yes it is. I didn't know that. I've never liked the question-and-answer format of modern so-called debates, preferring the traditional Lincold-Douglas style. One side makes an opening speech on the topic, the other side makes his own speech answering the opponent and making his own arguments, and so-on. This lets them challenge each other, and lets the audience see how good they each are on the fly.
That's what I call a real debate.
