Talk:Australia–Asia debating

Creation
I created this article by splitting it off of of the Debate page (this version). My goal is to streamline the main debate page to focus less on competitive debate in education and more on debate as a subject. Therefore, some of the larger entries--including this one--are better off split into their own pages (especially Australia-Asia, since it seems to be rather large).

Australs and AP are different formats
This article seems to merge Australs and Asian Parliamentary debating into one format. I'm not sure if they were historically the same, but any current Australian or Asian debater would definitely treat them as two different formats (the biggest difference being that Australs has 8-minute speeches with no POIs, while AP has 7-minute speeches with POIs). There are also differences in scoring. In contrast, I've never heard the blanket term "Australia-Asia debating" - they are treated as two separate formats, not one. I think this article should be split into two to reflect this - if no one has objections, I'll start looking for reliable sources that I can use to build the new article (with the caveat that I'm less familiar with Australs than AP, so it would be good if somebody familiar with that format could work on that side of things). I'd welcome any thoughts on this! Helpful Cat (talk) 15:49, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
