You prefer the alternative format where each candidate gets 2 minutes to answer a question while the other gets a 30 second rebuttal? Then they have that buzzer that sounds when they go over 2 minutes.

I find in the "2 minute" style of debates the candidates have to compress their answers in to quick sound bytes that lack substance and detail.
