PART 2
Guidelines for Adjudicators
A. Marking Standard
1.0 Marks
1.1 Each debater's substantive speech is marked out of
100, with 40 for Content, 40 for Style (20 for Language and
20 for Manner) and 20 for Strategy.
1.2 The reply speech is marked out of 50, with 20 for
Content, 20 for Style (10 for Language and 10 for Manner)
and 10 for Strategy.
1.3 In order to encourage consistency of marks, speeches
are marked within the accepted range and adjudicators
must not go outside that range. (See the Marking Standard
- Annex 1).
1.4 If a debater declares is unable to make his/her speech
after a debate has begun, another member of the team
who was announced by the speaker of the house as being
an active speaker in that debate may speak in his/her
place. In such a situation, adjudicators shall award the
speech the lowest possible score within the Marking
Standard, regardless of the quality of the speech.
1.5 Adjudicators must not use any other marking standard
or categories of marks.

2021
2.0 Content
2.1 Content is the argument used by a debater, divorced
from the speaking style.
2.2 If an argument is weak, it should be marked
accordingly, even if the other team does not expose its
weakness.
2.3 In deciding the strength or weakness of an argument,
adjudicators should not be influenced by their own personal
beliefs or specialised knowledge.
3.0 Style - Style comprises Language and Manner.
3.1 Language
3.1.1 Language refers to using appropriate expressions
containing correct sentence structures and grammar.
3.1.2 It also covers pronunciation, fluency, rhythm,
intonation and clarity of speech. English being a second
language here, adjudicators should not be looking for
Queen’s English in our debaters, but any expression
which is not clearly understood should not merit high marks
in theLanguage section.
3.1.3 On the other hand, any good language expression,
including the use of figures of speech, idioms, etc.,
appropriate and apt to the occasion, may merit positive
marks for Language.
3.2 Manner
3.2.1 Manner is the way a debater speaks. This can be noted
in many ways; accent, body language (movement, poise,
meaningful gestures and eye contact) and with the use of
specific terminology. Be tolerant of different ways in
presenting arguments.
3.2.2 In general, the use of palm-cards, lecterns, folders,
notepads or other forms of debaters notes should not affect
the mark a debater is given.
3.2.3 However, debaters should not read their speeches, but
should use notes that they refer to only from time to time.

2021
4.0 Strategy
4.1 Strategy covers two concepts:
4.1.1 Whether a debater understands what the issues of
the debate are.
4.1.2 The structure and timing of a debater’s speech.
4.2 A debater who answers the critical issues with weak
responses should get poor marks for Content but good
marks for Strategy.
B. Definitions and Cases
1.0 The Government must present a reasonable definition
of a motion.
This means:
1.1 On receiving a motion, both teams should ask: ‘What
is the issue that the two teams are expected to debate?
What would an average reasonable person reading the
motion think that it is about?’
1.2 If the motion poses a clear issue for debate (i.e. it has an
obvious meaning), the Government must define the motion
accordingly. When the motion has an obvious meaning (one
which the average reasonable person would realise), any
other definition would not be reasonable.
1.3 If there is no obvious meaning to the motion, the range of
possible meanings is limited to those that allow for a
reasonable debate. Choosing a meaning that does not allow
the Opposition room for debate would not be a reasonable
definition. Truisms and tautologies leave the Opposition
no room for debate and are clearly illegitimate.
1.4 When defining words in the motion so as
(i) to allow the obvious meaning to be debated or
(ii) when there is no obvious meaning
to give effect to a possible meaning which would allow for a
reasonable debate, the Government must ensure that the
definition is one the average reasonable person would accept.

2021
2.0 The definition must match the level of abstraction (or
specificity) of the motion, so that the debate is as specific
or general as the motion itself. Specific motions should be
defined specifically and general motions generally.
3.0 Motions expressed as general principles must be
proven true as general principles. A single example will
neither prove nor disprove a general principle. Finding
arguments that explain the majority of relevant examples
will be more important.
4.0 When suggesting parameters to the debate, or
proposing particular models or criteria to adjudicate it by,
the Government must ensure such parameters, models or
criteria are themselves reasonable. They must be ones that
the average reasonable person would accept as applicable
to the debate.
4.1 The Government ability to set reasonable parameters
to a debate does not provide a license to restrict the motion
arbitrarily.
4.2 When the motion requires the Government to propose a
solution to a problem and the Government has to set out the
details of its proposed solution to prove its effectiveness, the
Government must ensure that the detailed solution given (the
Government ‘model’ or ‘plan’) is a reasonable one, such that
the average reasonable person would accept it is applicable
to the debate.
5.0 If the Government definition is unreasonable, the
Opposition may:
5.1 Accept it anyway (and debate the Government case
regardless);
5.2 Challenge it (argue that the definition is unreasonable, put
up an alternative, reasonable definition and a case based on
this);
5.3 Broaden the debate back to the words in the motion (if
the Government has unreasonably restricted the motion and
is arguing a narrower version of it);
5.4 Challenge the definition (as in 5.2), but argue that ‘even if’
it is reasonable, the Government case is flawed (as in 5.1).

2021
6.0 Once the definition is settled, each team has to present
a case, supported by arguments and examples. Therefore
debates shall not be evaluated based on their definitions
alone.
6.1 A case sums up the team arguments and states why its
side of the motion is correct.
6.2 Arguments are reasons or rationales why the team
case is correct.
6.3 Examples are facts, events, occurrences and the like
that show the team arguments are correct.
7.0 Whereas an unduly restrictive definition (such as
limiting a general motion to a single example) is illegitimate
and can be challenged or broadened, a Government that
runs a restrictive case (such as limiting itself to a single
argument) acts legitimately and cannot be challenged for
doing so, but runs the risk of the Opposition being able to
more easily counter that case (by disproving that one
argument and/ or by raising other arguments that disprove
the motion, as defined).
8.0 In all cases, the team that manages to provide
reasons as to why their definition and cases are the most
reasonable, practical and beneficial shall win the debate.
If a debater claims that a definition or a case is
unreasonable, then they should state reasons to support
that claim. Adjudicators should balance reasons and
rebuttals in determining which team wins.

2021
C. The Roles of Debaters
1.0 The role of the first debater of a Government is to
define the topic, establish the issues for the debate,
outline the Government case, announce the case
division between the debaters, and present his or her
part of the Government case. The first speaker may
introduce as many points that he/she feels can be
adequately explained given the time limitations.
2.0 The Government may define the topic in any way
provided that the definition:
2.1 Is reasonably close to the plain meaning of the
topic,
2.2 Allows the opposition team reasonable room to
debate,
2.3 Is not tautological or truistic, and
2.4 Is otherwise a reasonable definition.
3.0 Squirrelling, place-setting and time-setting are not
permitted.
3.1 Squirrelling is the distortion of the definition to enable a
team to argue a pre- prepared argument that it wishes to
debate regardless of the motion actually set;
3.2 Place-setting is the setting of a debate of general
application in a particular place.
3.3 Time-setting is the setting of a debate of general application
in a particular time, past or future.
4.0 The role of the first debater of an opposition side is to
respond to the Government case, outline the Opposition case,
announce the case division, and present his or her part of the
Opposition case.
5.0 The first opposition may challenge the definition only if it
does not conform to 2.0 or 3.0 (B) above. If it challenges the
definition, the first opposition must propose a new definition
that conforms to 2.0 and 3.0 (B) and oppose that new
definition.

2021
6.0 If the first opposition does not challenge the definition,
the Opposition is taken to have accepted the definition and
the Opposition may not challenge the definition in any other
speech unless the Government significantly alters the
definition in their subsequent speeches.
7.0 In responding to the Government case, the Opposition
may produce a positive choice of its own, or merely attack
the case presented by the Government. If it chooses to
produce a positive case of its own, it must in fact produce
that case through its speeches, and not concentrate solely
on attacking the case presented by the Government.
8.0 The role of the second debater of a Government is to
deal with the definition if it has been challenged, respond to
the opposition case, and continue with the Government case
as outlined by the first debater.
9.0 If the second government does not challenge a redefinition of
the debate made by the first opposition, the Government is taken
to have accepted the Opposition redefinition and no further
challenges to the definition may be made.
10.0 The role of the second debater of an Opposition is to deal
with the definition if it is still in issue, respond to the Government
case, and continue with the Opposition case as outlined by the
first debater.
11.0 The role of both third debaters is to deal with the definition if
it is still in issue, and respond to the other team case.
12.0 The third debater of either team may have a small part of
the team case to present, but his is not obligatory as the third
debater’s primary role is to respond to what has gone before in
the debate.
13.0 Third debaters should not bring new arguments; new
examples to explain points that were made previously or to
explain a rebuttal is not considered a new argument.

2021
14.0 The more a debate progresses, the more each debater
must spend time dealing with what has been said by
previous debaters.
15.0 Hence the more a debate progresses, the less time will
be spent by each debater in presenting a new part of the
team case and the more time will be spent responding to the
other team arguments.
16.0 The role of reply speeches is to sum up the debate from
the team viewpoint, including a response to the other team
overall case and a summary of the debater’s own team case.
17.0 A reply debater may be either the first or second
debater of the team, not the third.
18.0 The reply debaters are in reverse order, with the
Opposition reply first and the Government reply last.
19.0 Neither reply debater may introduce a new part of the
team case.
20.0 A reply debater may respond to an existing argument
by raising a new example that illustrates that argument, but
may not otherwise introduce a new argument.
21.0 A Government does not have to prove its case
beyond reasonable doubt, but merely that its case is true in
the majority of cases or as a general government.
22.0 An opposition does not have to prove its case beyond
reasonable doubt, but merely that its case is true in the
majority of cases or as a general.
23.0 Where the topic is expressed as an absolute, a
Government must prove the topic true in the significant
majority of cases, but not in every single conceivable
instance.
24.0 Where the topic is expressed as an absolute, an
Opposition must do more than present a single instance
where the topic is not true and prove that it is not true
for at least a majority of cases.

2021
25.0 An Opposition, beyond disproving that the Government
arguments are flawed as rebuttals must present a case that
proves harms on the Government case or more benefits on
their case.
26.0 An Opposition cannot merely rebut a Government
without having a position or case that is supported by
arguments to fulfil their role.
D. Point of Information
1.0 Between the first and seventh minutes of a debater’s
substantive speech, members of the other team may offer
points of information.
2.0 The purpose of a point of information is to make a short
point or ask a short question of the debater.
3.0 Point of information need not be addressed through the
person chairing the debate, and may be in the form of a
question.
4.0 A point of information should be brief, and no longer than
15 seconds.
