The Agora Schema: Peer-Judging

Ensuring fairness, transparency, and civic reciprocity

Four Universal Criteria (7–10 Scale)

Each judge scores both teams on four criteria using a 7.0–10.0 scale with 0.5 increments

1Use of Evidence

Quality and accuracy of material used to support claims, through logical reasoning or reference to facts and examples

2Persuasiveness

Ability to engage and convince through tone, pacing, emphasis, and overall presence

3Responsiveness

Degree to which the team directly engages with and answers the opposing side's arguments

4Argument Clarity

Coherence, structure, and logical flow. Clear connection and expression of ideas

Scoring: Each team receives 4 scores from each judge (28–40 points total). The SuperDebate app averages all four judges' totals to determine the round winner with complete transparency.

Anonymous Assignment

App assigns judges automatically at round start
No one judges their teammate, prior opponents, or affiliated institution
Debaters never know in advance who will judge them

Statistical Objectivity

4 independent judges per room eliminate single-bias impact
Outlier scores (8+ points from average) are moderated toward the mean
App detects anomalies and flags suspect ballots for review
