Nature of Concern
  • Harsh criticism not framed with constructive reinforcement
Describe concern

It feels that she took points off due to a lack of knowledge of the topic as opposed to the speech itself.

What adjudicator specifically wrote or did

Specific comments:

Prevented players from _______ the hall of fame, I think a word is missing here.
Word choice – well done
Speech is interesting and effective

The problem we have with the above critique is that a word is not missing and this resulted in a deducted point.
She also originally took a point off for not knowing what PED stood for, but it appears that she gave point back because it was explained.

Committee Review

Initial Advisor Comments

I am not clear what to do here. I am unsure if adjudicator missed a word herself? Therefore, why deduct point.

Resolution:Denied
Disposition

The Referee Committee feels that the adjudicator stated a word was missing and that there was some sort of break in fluency. The committee was not there to hear the presentation. The adjudicator did list a reason for a point deduction.
