Impromptu debate

Impromptu debate is a type of debate where participants are given a short amount of time to prepare and present their arguments on a topic, often immediately after the topic is announced. This format tests both the debaters' ability to think quickly and articulate their thoughts coherently under pressure. Typically, participants may receive a prompt or resolution about which they must argue either for or against, and they usually have only a few minutes to prepare their speeches before presenting them to an audience or judges.
