Debater's tip (Quality, listening, teamwork): Earns marks: clear, relevant points; listening; polite disagreement; leading without bossing; a good summary; bringing in quiet ones. Loses marks: talking over others, saying nothing, going off topic, personal comments, repeating others, losing your temper. In a scene, the best member is the one whose behaviour helps the whole group think and agree.
