Team Seafort: 193 pts.
Team Teaos: 185 pts.

This is considering the waiver of the penalty for a substitute post which Teaos graciously offered. Congratulations to both teams for an enjoyable and well-done debate, and for a very close score - which, BTW, was NOT done artificially. Feel free to post here or PM with any questions; I have individual scoring for each post available. Thanks again!
Can you post the scoring? I know mine was weak, but I'm certainly curious.

Seconded. It would also be interesting to know the categories you used, and how you decided on points within those categories.

Agreed, the only way we can improve ourselves/the debate or fix things in the future is if we know everything.

OK. Please bear in mine that this is MY first time too; I thjink a PM is probably more appropriate if you'd like my thoughts on any individual post.

Captain Seafort (1): use of logic - 25
use of evidence - 15
ability to counter - N/A (I used a median of 13 pts.)
rhetoric - 20

Teaos: logic - 20
evidence - 10
counter - 25
rhetoric - 15

KuvahMagh: logic - 10
evidence - 20
counter - 20
rhetoric - 10

Bryan Moore: logic - 15
evidence - 5
counter - 15
rhetoric - 15

Captain Seafort (for Monroe): logic - 15
evidence - 10
counter - 20
rhetoric - 15

Cpl Kendall: logic - 10
evidence - 20
counter - 25
rhetoric - 10

At 100 pts. available per post, I simply weighted each of the four categories (which I had previously specified) equally at 25 pts. available in each. Any suggestions toward amending/improving that method are welcome.

Can you define the rhetotic catagory? I'm not sure what you mean by that.

A nice indepth judging Mikey. I'll have to work harder at rigging the debate next time...

Oh and Congratulation to Seaforts team on winning :D

By that I mean how you express yourself and how clearly you rlanguage denotes your ideas.
