The new scoring system has been tested out and is ready to be made official! Judges now have more points to award in each category and are using a fancy high-tech scoring sheet with drop-down menus to cast their votes. We also have new ways of displaying the results at the end of the debate. Did your team get to use the new system? Tell us what you think of the improvements!
Since our school participated in the first debate on November 16 the new scoring system was not in place and it was a bit confusing. The new system with the graphs is a great idea. Our team was excited about their first win for the season and looks forward to debating again on December 6 since we accepted the Wild Card spot. This is a great topic.
Yes, Renee! The new system is a lot less confusing. We hope that the Panthers will like it when they get to try it for themselves on Dec 6th. Good Luck!
