Emmeth and I aren't judges. I capped the limit of judges to three earlier or I would have added him and another to make it odd. |

Well I will be taking into account the cohesion of the team's debate as a whole. If team 1 has one really great argument but his partner's is rife with holes yet team 2 has two decent, cohesive arguments, yet not one nearly as good as "the good one" from team 1(but not one as bad as team 2's "bad one") then I still may award the point to team 2. Does that make any sense? It's not set in stone that it would go towards team 2, just that cohesion will be a factor. I don't think I'll run into that problem but just throwing that out there. This is a TEAM debate. Edited by petewentz, Dec 29 2013, 04:44 AM.

Yeah it makes perfect sense, but this original screw up in the Base Saiyans vs Piccolo won't be factored in. |

Bumping so I don't have to go back five pages again. To contribute a bit, would you guys be upset if I also took into consideration the punctuation and grammar of a post? If I can't understand what's being said because of poor structure, then... |

I also noticed some bad grammar in some of the posts but I wasn't going to let it effect my decision because I feel it would be in poor taste to take a point away from someone just because they forgot a few commas or a couple of typos. Though, if it's agreed upon by all judges to judge grammar as well then I will take it into consideration. That is to say grammar won't be a big factor either way; either it'll be a non-entity or it'll be a small factor. |

No problem here with factoring in grammar and spelling. If I messed up there I earned it. |

Is it too late to join? Was on a cruise when the topic was made, no internet access. It is fine if it's too late. |

I'm guessing it's too late because participants have already sent in their arguments and we already have a structure |

Docking points for spelling and grammar isn't fair on people who don't have English as their first language. |
