Lol, they were biased 20 years ago when I debated.

It all depends on the local community judges are recruited from.

I lost rounds multiple times with the only note being “Global warming is a lie”

Nobody wants to judge debate tournaments except former debaters and parents forced into it by their students.

You get what you get when it comes to debate judges.

The author of the article is clearly biased themselves.
