011211js-p1 0 ADJUDICATORS GUIDELINES – OPENING NOTES NZSDC

011211js-p1 1 PUT SIMPLY, ADJUDICATORS HAVE THREE ROLES TO FILL Ensure the debate runs smoothly Call the debate correctly Provide a useful and considered adjudication speech

011211js-p1 2 A COMMON MISTAKE IS TO FOCUS SOLELY ON MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION Ensure the debate runs smoothly Call the debate correctly Provide a useful and considered adjudication speech

011211js-p1 3 A COMMON MISTAKE IS TO FOCUS SOLELY ON MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION Ensure the debate runs smoothly Call the debate correctly Provide a useful and considered adjudication speech However, the other two roles will be at least as important if we are to achieve a credible and happy schools’ competition

011211js-p1 4 THE ADJUDICATOR MUST MANAGE THE DEBATE At this level, there is often no chairperson or only an inexperienced/ “biased” chairperson You will be expected to know more than anyone else in the room about debating and the rules of the competition From the moment you enter the room, the teams and coaches will be looking at you, assessing your competence (eg, from your manner, body language, confidence)

011211js-p1 5 THE ADJUDICATOR MUST MANAGE THE DEBATE At this level, there is often no chairperson or only an inexperienced/ “biased” chairperson You will be expected to know more than anyone else in the room about debating and the rules of the competition From the moment you enter the room, the teams and coaches will be looking at you, assessing your competence (eg, from your manner, body language, confidence) Taking simple steps to manage the debate effectively will help to establish your credibility as an adjudicator – regardless of age or experience

011211js-p1 6 WHEN YOU ENTER THE ROOM… Be approachable, confident and courteous in your manner – your aim should be to establish a good rapport with both teams, and to set everyone at ease. This cheerful behaviour is important because the students need to: Have confidence in you as their adjudicator Feel that they are in a non-hostile environment Be well organised – have your mark-sheet and note paper with you; know which teams you’re judging, the motion, the sides, and the speaking times. To have to ask for any of these things is unprofessional Take control – get the names of the speakers, organise a chairperson/ timekeeper, and get the debate started as quickly and efficiently as possible. The teams will be looking to you to organise proceedings

011211js-p1 7 DURING THE DEBATE… Be alert to any major problems, eg: Loud team discussions during speeches Heckling, or any other unhelpful behaviour Points of order Extensive coaching from the audience Use your judgement in dealing with these problems. Usually, a firm but polite reminder between speeches is sufficient; marks would only be deducted if the behaviour is extreme or if it continues despite your warning

011211js-p1 8 DURING THE DEBATE… Be alert to any major problems, eg: Loud team discussions during speeches Heckling, or any other unhelpful behaviour Points of order Extensive coaching from the audience Use your judgement in dealing with these problems. Usually, a firm but polite reminder between speeches is sufficient; marks would only be deducted if the behaviour is extreme or if it continues despite your warning After the debate, always ask yourself whether you could have managed things better. Discuss any problems with other adjudicators

011211js-p1 9 THE ROLE OF THE ADJUDICATION SPEECH The adjudication speech has two purposes: Encourage and develop the speakers Explain the result

011211js-p1 10 THE ROLE OF THE ADJUDICATION SPEECH (2) Your speech must cover these two areas. Tips include: –Try not to give individual criticisms/ praise (eg: “So it all came down to the 3 rd Negative, and if only Jeremy had done more rebuttal…”). Rather, go for statements that are equally specific, but more tactful (eg: “By the end of the substantive speeches, the Negative needed to have rebutted the Affirmative’s crucial points on global warming and US disarmament…”) –Be aware of formats that will cover the two areas of the adjudication speech (eg: summary of strengths and weaknesses in the debate, followed by overview/ analysis of the result)

011211js-p1 11 THE FIVE GOLDEN RULES OF THE ADJUDICATION SPEECH Rule 1: Think through what you’re going to say. Use the time given at the end of the debate not just to finalise your decision and tally up the mark-sheet, but also to prepare brief notes for your adjudication speech Remember – It’s better to take a couple of extra minutes at the end to plan your speech, than to rush into it unprepared

011211js-p1 12 THE FIVE GOLDEN RULES OF THE ADJUDICATION SPEECH Rule 2: Be aware of time constraints. The ever-present temptation is to act as a “seventh speaker”. Instead, you should recognise that: The debaters’ attention spans will naturally have limits There will be tight time constraints on the competition (students and organisers have to get home!) Remember – A super-detailed adjudication seldom equates to a good adjudication

011211js-p1 13 THE FIVE GOLDEN RULES OF THE ADJUDICATION SPEECH Rule 3: Be intelligible. It’s important to pitch the speech at a level appropriate to the school students you’re judging. In particular, you should avoid jargon and elevated technical discussions that will make little sense to relatively inexperienced debaters Remember – Students will be alienated by an excessively sophisticated analysis. Instead, your role is to make both the debate and the reasons for your decision clear to them

011211js-p1 14 THE FIVE GOLDEN RULES OF THE ADJUDICATION SPEECH Rule 4: Be enthusiastic and constructive. The students need to feel that you enjoyed the debate and appreciated their efforts. Extended criticism or ridicule is never a helpful tool with young debaters Remember – 9 times out of 10, students will know when they have been terrible or completely outclassed. You can make these points without humiliating them in front of their peers

011211js-p1 15 THE FIVE GOLDEN RULES OF THE ADJUDICATION SPEECH Rule 5: Always be prepared to give helpful, individualised feedback to speakers after the debate. Time constraints will make this difficult, but debaters appreciate your interest and (provided it is done well) it adds to your credibility that you are prepared to discuss matters with them Remember – While you should be prepared to discuss the debate, you do not have to actively defend your decision in a “second debate”
