The rapid rise of Generative AI will deskill the next generation rather than empower them.

Participants lock their position — For or Against — at onboarding. That stance is permanent across all rounds, rewarding conviction and depth of preparation.
A strict, uninterrupted 5-minute countdown enforced in every round. Exceeding the limit triggers immediate scorecard deductions — no exceptions.
The evaluation panel independently advances the Top 5 Affirmative and Top 5 Negative — guaranteeing an electrifying, perfectly balanced Grand Finale.
