Could you please elaborate a little on this one? What's R4? But apart from that, if I got it right, it sounds interesting and we may come to something like this at some point.

Okay, so it's an option which an Instigator can choose to have if they want.

Essentially, assume there's four debate rounds, with Pro going first. Then, for the first three rounds, say with a character limit of 10,000 characters, the round structure would be:

Pro's Round 1 --> Con's Round 1 --> Pro's Round 2 --> Con's Round 2 --> Pro's Round 3 --> Con's Round 3

For Round 4 alone, the character limit would be halved to 5,000 characters, and Con's Round 4 would happen before Pro's Round 4. And the Round 4s ("R4s") would be exclusively for crystallization, with no rebuttal, counter-rebuttal, or arguments of any kind. This Round 4 would be called a "reply round" or a "reply speech."

I think the deletion of "sources," "conduct," and "spelling/grammar" points would be pretty important for me. 

I'd hate to debate on a site with exclusively a 7-point system; Instigators should have the option to only have a "better arguments" point.
