Critical to the success of any formalized debate is the direct feedback debaters receive from the attending judges, because debaters anticipate and value the appraisal of their contributions provided by a completed debate ballot. The process of improving one’s ability to persuasively present ideas is significantly enhanced when an objective opinion is provided, and by flowing a debate before submitting a decision via ballot, judges provide the impetus for aspiring debaters to hone their craft. Another crucial aspect of the balloting process is to assist the debaters – whether they have been declared the victors or the vanquished – to better understand the reasoning process used to inform each judge’s decision. To that end, anybody attempting to accurately judge a debate must be prepared to provide insightful commentary, a rigorous analysis of each completed round, and the ultimate basis for their ballot decision. Although judges also deliver a verbal critique of each debate, the act of writing commentary and feedback on a paper ballot serves to help debate coaches and their charges to understand the motivations and machinations of the debate judging process. There is no formally accepted structure for a debate ballot, but several crucial elements should be integrated into this process in the name of uniformity, accuracy and integrity. The reasoning process underpinning a judge’s decision should be fully explicated, direct commentary should be offered to debaters on an individual basis, and comparative analysis of argumentative merit from each round are extremely useful resources for debaters hoping to improve their oratorical skill set. The following flow and ballot was constructed while observing the NPDA Finals Debate between Mercer University and Morehouse College, which took place on September 21st of this year at the University of North Georgia’s annual Chicken and the Egg Classic.
