Verbal adjudication ordinarily is made for each debate by the judge designated as "chair" or by a judge appointed by the chair. Verbal adjudication should explain the winner of the debate and provide any additional advice for teams. Then adjudication should not last more than 5 minutes.
Judges should assign speaker points for each speaker based on the manner and matter presented during the speech on a 50-point scale and both speakers' scores add up to the team's final score. The details go as follows:

The major influence on an adjudicator must be:
