Debate

Event Description:

TOPIC:  Resolved:  Private sector investment in human space exploration is preferable to public sector investment.

NOTE:  While Pro (Aff) must support the resolution, Con (Neg)  does not need to support  public sector investment- rather they only need to attack the Pro arguments.  Students are responsible for timing themselves.  Points are awarded  per team- fractions are allowed in tenths of a point. Stay within the  20-30 point guide as shown. You must provide some written feedback for the students- keep it generous and helpful- NOT HURTFUL. We are in this to encourage, not discourage.

IF A TEAM IS MORE THAN 15 MINUTES LATE, WRITE "FORFEIT" ON THE BALLOT AND BRING TO TABROOM (ROOM 154). PLEASE TEXT TABROOM AT 302-824-2427 IF A STUDENT IS MISSING  BEFORE THIS POINT.

MAKE SURE TO HIT "START ROUND" AT BEGINNING OF ELECTRONIC BALLOT.  

MAKE SURE TO SUBMIT THE DECISION AS SOON AS THE ROUND IS DONE- YOU CAN GO BACK AND ADD COMMENTS LATER.

NO COIN FLIPS- THIS IS SET SIDE!  NO OPEN CROSSFIRE! NO CONNECTIVITY- COME TO TABROOM IF YOU SUSPECT SOMEONE IS ACCESSING THE INTERNET VIA THEIR PHONE OR LAPTOP- WE WILL CHECK THEIR HISTORY.

NO LOW POINT WINS!   NO  TIES!    NO DISCLOSURE!   NO ORAL CRITIQUES!   NO TALKING WITH OTHER JUDGES! 

PARK YOUR PERSONAL OPINIONS/BIASES AT THE DOOR-ONLY VOTE ON MERITS OF THE  TWO TEAMS,  NOT ON YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT THE TOPIC! DO NOT INTERVENE IN A ROUND, ESPECIALLY DURING CROSSFIRE.  IF A STUDENT  IS EXCESSIVELY RUDE, DOCK THE TEAM'S SPEAKER POINTS.  YOU MAY WARN THEM AT START OF ROUND ABOUT THIS.
