DEBATE RULE REMINDERS 

1. DO NOT start a debate until EVERYONE in the debate's camera is ON.

2. JUDGES you MUST keep your camera on during the ENTIRE debate.

3. Judge you MUST make a decision, write feedback, and then give a VERBAL decision in the round before the students can leave.

I understand things are hectic, and it's not ideal circumstances but we MUST follow the above rules to provide a safe, educational environment for all.
