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!
more like this ...

1 Your Opening
2 My Opening

3 Your 1st body argument and counter
4 My 1st body argument and counter

5 Your 2nd body argument and counter
6 My 2nd body argument and counter

7 Your 3rd body argument and counter
8 My 3rd body argument and counter

9 Your 4th body argument and counter
10 My 4th body argument and counter

11 Your closing statement
12 My closing statement
