Judges
- Judges should direct their questions to teams based on the discussion, not to individuals.
- Teams must answer the moderator’s case question during their presentation period. Teams are
judged and scored on how well its members clearly and systematically address and respond to the
question asked. - Teams will not be penalized or rewarded by the judges depending on whether one person speaks
or everyone contributes. Judges should neither penalize nor reward a team for using either
approach: both are welcome. - When one team confers or speaks, the other team and any audience members must remain silent
although writing and passing notes is permitted. (For example, when Team A is given the case
and question, they are allowed to confer for two minutes and then present for five minutes. During
those five minutes, Team B is permitted to write notes,but must remain silent. - Anyone in the room who intentionally makes distracting noises while one of the teams, judges, or
moderator has the floor will be asked to step out of the room. Foul, insulting, or excessively
graphic language or confrontational behavior by anyone in the room will not be permitted. - Please note, the moderator can only control the noise within the room. If there are outside
distractions, such as construction or students talking, it is up to the moderator, not the coach or
parent, to decide if the round should be paused. - The decisions of the judges is final and heats will be totalled on the day. Where there is a tie the
Head judge will select the winner from the following process. The highest scores in the first heat....
if that is still a draw the highest score in the second heat and so on. - If there is a complaint or challenge to the results this should be put in writing to the organisers.
- The teams that come first and second over the days heats will participate in the final. If for some
reason one of those teams cannot participate then they will forfeit their place and be relegated to
third place. And first and third will play off for the Gold medal. - Both teams participating in the final cannot be from the same school. In the case there are two
teams form the same school ranked highest then 1st and 3rd will play off for the Gold and Silver
medal. - The results will be emailed to supervising teachers following the event as well as certificates
which will need to be presented to the students at a school assembly.
