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.

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.
