  1. Yes! We have made significant changes to the ballot this year. 

    The speech ballots will have a dropdown menu for each judging criteria category adding up to the total number of points for that competitor. This total will yield a ranking for the room. Judges must adjust rankings to break any ties.

    You can view the ballot rubrics and updated ballot category descriptions in the Speech Guidelines. The numbers on the ballot rubric correspond to the numbers on the electric ballot dropdown menu. This is similar to the speaker points in the debate ballots but with the added layer of ranking and reranking all the competitors in the room before submitting the ballots instead of simply choosing the winner in the debate ballot.
