I don't think the databooks should be banned completely as they can provide some basic information about characters, but they definitely shouldn't be the be-all-and-end-all of debates, since stats aren't everything. There have countless times were sports teams are statistically  weaker but still manage to pull off upset victories. My point is to maybe keep the databooks to give a rough outline of a character before the actual debating starts.
