The Ballot As a Learning Tool in Policy Debate Rich Edward & Russell Kirkscey

Ballots Are More Permanent Than You Think 1.Some coaches save ballots forever 2.Some tournaments are scanning & posting ballots online

Purposes of the Debate Ballot 1.Provide a reason for decision 2.Promote judge adaptation 3.Instruction for debaters 4.Reinforcement of things done well 5.Communication with the coaches

Example of Reason for Decision

Promote Judge Adaptation

Provide Suggestions for Improvement

Provide Reinforcement

Letting the Coach Know What Went Well & Not As Well

What Do Points Mean? 1.Point inflation is a reality, but it’s not the end of the world; points are relative. 2.The 2015 point reality: 30 = You should be top speaker 29 = You should be one of the top 10 speakers at this tournament 28 = You might be one of the top 10 speakers at this tournament 27 = A speaker award for you is unlikely, but you did OK 26 = Not only is it unlikely you will get a speaker award, but I’m going to make sure you don’t get one <25 = You were rude or borderline unethical in something that you did and I’m determined to get your attention!!

What About Those Boxes? 1.My advice: Decide the points you want to give first, then work backwards to mark the boxes accordingly. 2.If, for example you give a 28, ask what area or areas in which the student most needs to improve and circle appropriately. 3.The total of the numbers circled should equal the number of points given.

Ballot Mistakes 1.No decision 2.No points/ranks 3.Confused room sides with ballot sides 4.Unmarked low point win 5.No reason for decision

Final Advice 1.Fill in the general comments section during prep time 2.Wait to fill out the Reason for Decision section until the end 3.If you gave low points, help the debaters/coaches know why 4.Make no rude/crude comments on the ballot (no profanity, no sexual innuendo): The standard should be as follows: If the losing team gets upset and sends a copy of this ballot to my principal, would I be able to defend myself.
