Adjudicating BP debate is more than just about proving which side was better than the other, but also within the bences and diagonals must be done The following is a basic guide on how to weigh clashes and contributions by each team Opening half (OG vs OO) This should be a thorough comparison of the opening teams, was the context of the debate well set? is there clear standing of the teams? Evaluation of the content and engagement Closing half (CG vs CO) Comparison of the closing teams, the major focus being the extensions (content, analysis and rebuttal) provided by both teams and how they stand against each other Diagonals: Short (OO vs CG) and Long (OG vs CO) distinguishing teams from opposite halves and how they weigh against each other is key: here we measure the contribution in both content and analysis stands against each other… Are there clear clashes between the two and who wins Benches : Government (OG VS CG) and Opposition (OO VS CO) Which of the two teams on each side presented their case better: this is measured by content, analysis and engagement Which side was more relevant in the debate and contributed the most.
