How do Shoutin' Matches work?
What does it take to create a Shoutin' Match? All it takes is a topic you feel strongly about and someone to debate it with.
First, decide if you'll challenge a fellow Screamer or leave it open for anyone on ScreamingSports to take you on.
Next, enter your topic. Make sure your Shoutin' Match statement is clear and concise - a true or false type statement works best. Shoutin' Match statements are limited to 200 characters.
Make your case with the first of three arguments.
Once your Shoutin' Match has been submitted, the Screamer you've challenged will receive a Mail and has 3 days to accept the challenge. If they choose not to accept, the Shoutin' Match expires and does not count against either record. If it's an open Shoutin' Match, it will remain available to other Screamers for 8 days.
Once the Shoutin' Match is accepted, each opponent will have 3 days to make a their next argument.
Other Screamers can vote while the debate is in progress and they can change their vote at any time. Once each opponent has made three arguments the Shoutin' Match is open to be voted on by all members of ScreamingSports for another 24 hours.
