I'm confused about where the debate exchange will be in that format. Do we each provide an introduction, 4 body argument, and a conclusion? Or do I post an introduction, we counter each other 4 times, then we each post a closing argument? I had imagined something like this:

1. I give an opening argument
2. You counter
3. I counter
4. You counter
5. I counter
6. You give a closing argument

This may be roughly equivelant to what you suggested, I guess I just need more clarification. The other things you suggested seem like good ideas. I may even be able to do a reverse debate with ya!
